"Duke Dominates Syracuse with Second-Half Surge, Wins 86-66"

Syracuse Orange men's basketball team suffered a significant 86-66 loss to the No. 14 ranked Duke Blue Devils. Despite a strong start and Maliq Brown's career-high 26 points, Syracuse's 17 turnovers and inability to contain Duke's transition offense and perfect three-point shooting in the second half led to their downfall. The Orange struggled with Duke's defense, particularly in the halfcourt, and failed to capitalize on their rebounding advantage. This loss highlighted that while Syracuse has shown growth, they are not yet ready to take down top-tier teams, marking an 0-3 record in quadrant one games. Additionally, Syracuse needs to find ways to get their primary shooters, Chris Bell and Justin Taylor, more involved in the offense.
