Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 82-72 win over Georgia Tech. 

It was a tale of two halves for Syracuse. The Orange offense was humming in the first half. SU scored a season-high 44 points before halftime. The ball and the team were moving and Donnie Freeman showed his importance to the Orange on the way to a game-high 27 points. 

SU was up by 20 points at one point of the game, but saw that lead melt down in the 2nd half to just five with 11 2nd-half turnovers and consistent defensive miscues.

Wins are hard to get on the road in the ACC but SU made it just a little too hard on themselves in this one.

Axe discussed that, Naithan George's solid effort in a return to Atlanta and the importance of avoiding stepping in a pothole for the next four games before the schedule ramps up later in the month for SU.
