“We've made a huge jump from probably the last three or four games.” Syracuse appeared to solve its free-throw shooting issues after knocking down its first 10 attempts. Then a putrid second-half returned it to form, from @AidenStepansky. https://t.co/ucmehGjMen

After trailing by five a few minutes in, Syracuse mounted a 32-17 first-half run to pull in front and never relinquish its lead. @AidenStepansky has more observations from the Orange’s win over Northeastern Saturday. https://t.co/SSPfpgGZaV

FINAL: Syracuse holds on to defeat Northeastern 91-83. It was not pretty again. SU's offense, however, emerged for its most points of the year.

A huge key in Syracuse's free throw shooting improvements is Naithan George. He shot only 16 free throws across SU's first 10 games. He's shot 11 across the last game and a half and made all 11.

Syracuse calls a timeout after an Xavier Abreu dunk in transition, giving Northeastern a 14-9 lead at the 12:21 mark. Offense sure looks good...
