Syracuse does have several glaring weaknesses that have been major factors in all of our losses. In all six of our losses we have been unable to get into any rhythm going in our offensive sets. We have only averaged 10.5 assists in these contests while our opponents have averaged 19.6 in our losses. The only times we've had more than ten assists were in the losses to St Johns and BC and our 26 assists in those games pales in comparison to the 55 assists those two opponents had. Even when we cut down on our turnovers like today we still can't generate any flow into the offense. Our guard play has killed us in all of the losses and you aren't going to beat many decent teams with the assist totals we've had in our losses.

Our inability to play defense is another thing we are going to have to live with the entire season. These players just can't cover anybody. I've never seen a Cuse squad give up so many open shots both inside and outside the arc.

3-point shooting has consistently killed us in these losses. Syracuse has only shot 27% while our opponents have hit 43%. Its hard to believe BC and St Johns made 28 3's. We're going to be talking about our defense the entire season.
