Brent Axe recaps Syracuse basketball's 69-64 loss to Notre Dame on Saturday afternoon.

The Orange failed to hit a 3-pointer in a game (0-9) for the first time since 2014 in South Bend which was a big factor in the loss along with SU's 16-of-24 mark at the #FreeThrowsMatter line.

Brent also discusses how SU head coach Adrian Autry is changing SU's lineup around like they were hockey lines and that is leading to a growing frustration with the SU fan base. Donnie Freeman (20 points 11 rebounds) and Jyare Davis (20 points) played well as did SU point guard Jaquan Carlos (8 points, 7 assists) to overcome some recent struggles.

Syracuse Sports Insiders had plenty to say during the game and after about having a hard time connecting to what SU is trying to do under Autry and the lack of identity on offense and defense.
