Syracuse Rolls Without Onuaku, but Real Tests Lie Ahead
Filed under: Syracuse, NCAA Tournament, NCAA Tournament - West Region
BUFFALO, N.Y. — It was the last game of the quadruple-header at HSBC Arena, so Syracuse’s fans from all over north, west and central New York state had a long time to wait for some measure of redemption. And no doubt, they weren’t letting go of the memories of the 2005 NCAA tournament loss. So when Syracuse took the floor for warmups before its West regional first-round game Friday night, the crowed cheered loudly.
When the Vermont players followed soon after, the fans booed even more lustily. No, five years had not eased the pain of the 60-57 defeat in overtime in Worcester, Mass.
What did ease the pain was the first 13-1/2 minutes of the rematch, when top-seeded Syracuse ran away from 16th-seeded Vermont, leading 35-10. The game’s last 29-plus minutes served only to let the Orange break a sweat while keeping them healthy. The final was 79-56, with the Catamounts never getting closer than 11 points after the first five minutes.
