2. Syracuse — Every time I watch the Orange, they have seemingly improved. And for the first time this year, they looked like an NCAA title contender. They have a strong sense of identity, relying on a sturdy defense and churning possessions past 90 seconds with no conscience regarding a shot clock. No Syracuse team has played this slow. Scoring starts and ends with Sergio Salcido and Nick Mariano. After that, it's anyone's guess. Mariano wasn't respected by Notre Dame, and he dusted the shortstick matchup three times for unassisted goals. Salcido was terrific drawing doubles and creating offense. The Orange have played in eight consecutive one-goal games, winning seven of them. EMO is above .500 and sharp. Face-off man Ben Williams’ numbers are historically low. SU opponents are 42-33 (56%).
