-          We broke the damn losing streak, even if the performance was hardly encouraging. At least we’ve got something positive to build on.

-          We cut down our turnovers to 10, with only 3 in the second half. Frank Howard had only one, with 5 steals.

-          Howard and Tyus Battle again had a rough first half with only 12 points on 4 for 14 shooting and again rebounded from that in the second half with 21 points on 8 for 16 shooting.

-          Oshae Brissett, after going 16 for 69 during the losing streak (27.1%), with 2 of 3 treys.

-          I don’t know how much credit we get for it but we held Pittsburgh to 45 points and had 10 steals. We’re not likely to lose when we do that.

-          I thought Jim’s post-game press conference was excellent, especially his point that a team is going to lose some confidence and feel pressure when they have a 4 game losing streak: that teams like Oakland , whom we easily handled were probably better than Pitt but we were undefeated and playing with confidence then. Now the team needs to use this game and the rest they will get in the next week to get some of that confidence back. If they can do that we’ll see a better Syracuse team than the one we have been seeing.

13-6 (2-4) with 12+ to go

LET’S GO ORANGE!
