Syracuse zone defense contains New Mexico
The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Jim Boeheim has learned to take victories any way he can get them in 22 seasons at Syracuse.
"When you don't shoot well, it looks like an ugly game," he said yesterday after his Orangemen beat New Mexico 56-46 in the sec
ond round of the NCAA Tournament
"But it doesn't matter how you get there," he said. "We've played a lot of beautiful games and gone home."
Syracuse (26-8), the fifth seed, will play top-seeded Duke in the South Regional's third round on Friday in St. Petersburg, Fla. Duke defeated Oklahoma State 79-73 in yesterday's other second-round game in Rupp Arena.
The Orangemen advanced despite shooting just 34 percent (21-of-62). They turned in a splendid defensive effort, holding fourth-seeded New Mexico (24-8) to a season-low 26 percent shooting, including 6-of-25 from 3-point range.
"Syracuse is one of the best zone teams in the country, and we're not a team that performs well against a zone," said New Mexico coach Dave Bliss.
The Lobos started out well, taking an early 13-9 lead. But Syracuse went on an 11-0 run to go up 20-13.
At halftime, Syracuse led 24-18. The Orangentun shot only 29 percent (10-of-35), but the Lobos shot an even lower 22 percent (6-of-27).
In the second half, Syracuse extended its lead to 28-18 with 18:45 to go.
New Mexico rallied with a 12-6 run to close to 34-30 at 14:05.
