After a three-game win streak that at least renewed hopes that this Syracuse Orange team could be intriguing into the early days of March, Bobby Manning and James Szuba hosted the staff of Cuse Militia for a look at the state of the Orange. 

A stunning shooting explosion burst Buddy Boeheim to the forefront of what looks like one of the most explosive offenses in the conference. Where do the Orange rank among them? Has the defense truly improved as it has appeared in many of the recent halves through that stretch? How much will Jim Boeheim continue to trust his bench?

The quartet closed with BUY, SELL, HOLD on the Notre Dame game ahead tonight, Syracuse as a contender to win the ACC Tournament and Buddy Boeheim becoming the best shooter in SU history.
