Syracuse vs. Stephen F. Austin

Syracuse is playing great, dominating from the opening whistle.

They are getting the ball inside which is what they have to against smaller teams.

Also the perimeter defense is very impressive. Sometimes teams can kill SU from the outside. SFA missed their first 15 3-point attempts before finally hitting one.

But SU wasn't much better from downtown, shooting 2 for 16 with Rautins going 0 for 6. But I don't worry about him, I'm sure he'll bounce back with a better performance in the next game.

Also, SU got very sloppy with the ball, especially in the second half, turning it over 21 times in total.

But you can't be too upset with the way they played. They came out and took a big lead and really never let them back into it. A great easy first round victory.
