Syracuse
The women hung around for awhile; but apparently never threatened Syracuse on the way to an 87-71 loss which could have been even worse in terms of the score. Certainly a game against a top 20 team that you don’t expect to win, but an occasional surprise would be nice.

Re: Syracuse
A loss was expected, but the disappointing offensive trend (mentioned many times) continues.
Duquesne's three front court regulars (Lass, Sole, and Cannon) hit 13 of 21 of their shots (62%) while the rest of the team shot a dismal 13 of 39 (33%(.
Stating it in other terms, Duquesne's front court players took only 35% of the entire team's shots, yet they were by far the more productive offense.
If the Dukes were an exceptional 3-point shooting team (45% or higher), I would say, let the 3-ball fly, but they are not. Unfortunately, shifting to a more balanced inside/outside game is not in Duquesne's future and for that reason, their hopes of winning the A10 Tourney have narrowed considerably..

Re: Syracuse
The team has disappointed this year. The league tourney will be the season, as we're not close to being worthy of an at large bid.
