Syracuse has lost three-straight games after opening the season with 18 wins.

Their latest lost came at home, a 22-point defeat at the hands of Seton Hall (9-12).

The Orangemen have struggled defensively, but coach Jim Boeheim doesn't plan to abandon his zone defense.

“We cannot play man-to-man,” he said. “We have to play zone. We have to work on our defense. It is our defense. Most teams have a dominant defense and that’s the one they use. That’s our defense. We’ve got to do a better job with it.”
