In this decade the Orange defense in the tournament has been remarkable. Syracuse is in it's 7th tournament this decade ('10-'14, '16, '18) and a key to their success this time of year is the defense (to no ones surprise).
Has anyone gone back and looked at the scores of their tournament games this decade?

24 games.
The defense has allowed 65 or fewer points in 21 of them. 58 points per game this decade! Crazy.
We need this game friday to be more like Michigan State in '18, Virginia in '16, or Indiana in '13 than Ohio State in '12, or UNC in '16.
We have to force Duke into shots they do not want to take and not react with our D to their O. I really think we can beat this team. Just have to score 65.
