I agree we need to improve offensively. I thought someone's opinion seen through different eyes would matter here:

"I don't think you can simulate that," Northeastern coach Bill Coen said of preparing for Syracuse's size and quickness. "They're very, very quick in the zone and they cover up what appears to be an open shot with their quickness and length. Any good shots that we had that looked clean were a little bit rushed and we never really got rhythm 3s. That's what they do and they're really good at it. Shots that normally go down for us didn't but you have to credit them because they rush you into those."

The Orange (6-2), winners of four straight, dominated inside, outrebounding the Huskies (4-5) 43-29, including 15-7 on the offensive glass. Syracuse scored 32 in the paint and collected 19 second-chance points.

"I really thought the difference in the game was Syracuse's ability to rebound the ball on the offensive end," Coen said. "I thought we couldn't really get stops because we couldn't get rebounds. Those rebounds turned into quick 3s and kick-out 3s and quick points and the game quickly got away from us."

Syracuse held the Huskies to 17-of-50 shooting and just 6-of-28 from 3. Northeastern made 9 of 28 field goals in the second half and hit just 2-of-16 3s.

Not quite the same opinion form the opposing coach. GOSU:)
