The Syracuse University men’s basketball team has been 0-for-Hawaii so far in the Maui Invitational and now may have a distraction on its hands.

Donna Ditota and I broke down SU’s 76-57 loss to Gonzaga and discussed what we know (hint: it’s not much) about why Benny Williams did not play against the Zags.

We also talked about SU’s struggles from the 3-point line, rebounding and on defense and what SU is gaining from the school of hard knocks they have attended by playing two Top 11 teams in Hawaii.
