This Syracuse Orange men basketball team sure knows how to put its fans through the wringer when watching them play while also putting on a show and living up to the Cardiac use nickname in the process.After a double-overtime victory Tuesday night, the Orange had momentum heading into their first conference matchup Saturday night against the gritty Florida State Seminoles and capitalized on it, beating the Seminoles 63-60 in dramatic fashion, now also riding a two-game win streak. The Orange started off sluggish early in tonight's game, trailing by 11 points at one point in the first half, but found their rhythm in the second, playing with more discipline on offense letting plays develop rather than forcing them which led to Syracuse outscoring the Seminoles 39-28 in the half.Even though Orange walked away with the W, there is still some positive and negative takeaway from tonight's win. Here are our three takeaways from today's win: Melina Myers-USA TODAY SportsTakeaway 1: Gotta develop more discipline on offenseWow https://www.sooutletstore.com/Erik_Slater_Jersey-125, this was a rough one to watch in the first half. Syracuse looked overworked and failed to show the defensive grit needed against an always tough match against the Seminoles. The Orange started the first 13 minutes of the game 4-26 from the field and 3-15 from three only scoring 12 points, but their problems didn stop there. They also threw eight turnovers in the first half which turned into 10 fastbreak points for the Seminoles, which only made it more difficult for Syracuse to shoot their way back into this game.The second half showed signs of potential for the Orange going forward, and the main reason for this was their offensive discipline. in the first eight minutes of the half, the Orange threw two turnovers and shot an efficient 7-13 from the field to take a 43-40 lead after being down 24-32 at the end of the first half. Their discipline on offense was the reason they won this game tonight, especially during the intense closing minutes of the game. This team needs to develop more discipline on offense and
