Late-game miscues sink the Orange again, and a look ahead at the 2023 football season

Slow starts and miscue-filled finishes continue to plague Syracuse men's basketball and it's shown over the course of a three-game losing streak. On this week's episode of "The Orange Zone Podcast", presented by Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux, Tommy Sladek and Samantha Croston touch on the scenes postgame and head coach Jim Boeheim's response to a question every media member at the game had from tip off (00:00-06:00). The team then welcomes back SU legend Lawrence "Poetry in Moten" Moten to discuss the trends he saw continue in the Orange's loss to Virginia (06:00-17:57) what it means for the team's upcoming game against Boston College and their chances to make the NCAA Tournament field (17:58-23:40) and the state of SU's trademark zone defense (23:41-26:55). Meanwhile the team asks if they're seeing parallels from where the men stand in comparison to the women's basketball program as the home stretch of the season approaches (26:46-29:22). Of course there's reason to be excited elsewhere in the world of Syracuse athletics with the release of the 2023 football schedule (29:23-34:36) and a dive back into history with Producer Brendon's trivia that will have you rooting for a major upset (34:37). There's so much to cover and so much more to come so thank you for joining us on this week's episode of "The Orange Zone Podcast" presented by Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux.
