The Notre Dame men’s basketball team fell 77-69 to Syracuse on Saturday after the Orange rallied from a double-digit first half deficit.

Notre Dame doesn’t look like an offensive powerhouse at first glance, as it averages just 75.2 ppg. However, that modest number is due in large part to a tepid pace of play that has the Irish looking to make more out of every possession rather than run and gun.
