The No. 22 Orange (4-1) takes on No. 17 Wisconsin at 7:30 p.m. at the Kohl Center. SU cruised through its first four games of the year, but was finally slowed down by the Gamecocks.

What’s Jim Boeheim saying before the game? After the 64-50 loss to South Carolina, Boeheim offered this during his postgame press conference:

“This is about our offense. Every time we lose a game, it’s really almost never about our defense. Until the end, when we had to foul, they had like 50 points. Our defense is fine. We have a problem on offense.”

What did we learn from Syracuse’s loss in its most recent game against South Carolina? We learned SU’s best lineup is with Tyler Lydon at center, Tyus Battle is still learning to attack from the guard position and that Syracuse’s defense is just fine.
