Syracuse basketball closes season with win over Virginia: Can the Orange make a run in Charlotte?

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 84-70 win over Virginia at the JMA Dome.

SU put together one of its best defensive efforts in recent memory, smothering Virginia's shooters to force the Cavaliers into a 3-of-15 shooting night from 3-point range. 

Eddie Lampkin was terrific in the paint once again with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Jyare Davis and Lucas Taylor also scored 15 points each for the Orange.

So now the question is how much of this can Syracuse carry forward into the ACC Tournament and are the Orange capable of stringing together a run in Charlotte? 

Brent got plenty of feedback from Syracuse Sports Insiders on that question and the win over Virginia.
