A few observations in no particular order:

Justin Taylor does need to be more involved in offense.
He finally got a good 3 point look down the stretch and missed horribly.
That may have been the beginning of the end.
But he played some good D and hit the glass.

Doesn't matter how the other team shoots free throws...this Orange team cannot afford to leave any points at the line.
Poor FT shooting hurt badly.

Early success from 3 kept the Orange in it.
Later failure from 3 did the opposite.

When Tennessee turned up their defense later in the first half and forced the Orange outside...there was no one to press the issue with Mintz on the bench.  
The Orange need him on the floor.
Period.

Looks like this will be another season with an out of position player (Brown) manning the 5 much of the time.

The zone may be a good tactical weapon to confuse an opponent in spots.
But when you have an opponent who beats it easily right away...get out of it.
Had this been another year of sticking with the zone no matter what,,, this could have been a 30 point loss or worse.

Can't recall seeing this many players get on the court for the Orange since pre-Boeheim days.
