Syracuse (8-2)[/B] A 12-10 victory against Virginia didn’t have the scoreline you’d expect from the historically electric matchup, but it did have a bit of a “we don’t know what’s going to happen” mystique. What happened is Syracuse’s zone defense is awesome, and Virginia just couldn’t get an inch. They have the fourth-best adjusted defensive efficiency. Gary Gait deserves more praise than he’s gotten for the hire of John Odierna. Odierna cut his teeth at Manhattan, and anyone who paid attention could see he was doing special things. He’s taken that to the next level and should be looked at as one of the great defensive minds in the sport. —MK [/QUOTE]
