Syracuse's Jim Boeheim says Duke is the title favorite heading into MarchDuke's two blowout wins over Syracuse were enough to convince the Orange's head coach that these Blue Devils have a chance to win it all.
Buddy Boeheim - Scores 23 against DukeBoeheim ended Saturday's 97-72 loss to Duke with 23 points (10-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and three steals across 38 minutes.
ImpactBoeheim recorded his 14th game with at least 20 points, and his role as Syracuse's best scoring threat is all but certain. The senior continues to have an impressive season and is averaging 19.1 points per contest, a figure that represents a career-high mark for him.

Puff Johnson - Goes for 16 pointsJohnson supplied 16 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 84-74 win over North Carolina State.
ImpactJohnson delivered his best scoring output of the campaign, and in fact, this was the first time he scored in double digits this season. Given the fact that he also played more than 20 minutes for the first time this season, he's not likely to deliver this kind of performance going forward.

Cole Swider - Career-high 36 in OTSwider fouled out of Monday's 88-79 OT loss to North Carolina after recording 36 points (14-21 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds in 43 minutes.
ImpactSwider had recorded only two points on 1-for-4 shooting across a season-low 14 minutes in his previous game against, but whatever reason for his low usage then appeared to be completely absent Monday night. The senior smashed his previous career high of 26 points and scored 15 more points than any other game this season, due largely to an outstanding seven three-pointers made. He's shooting a career-best 40.9 percent from distance, which is currently the best mark among all Syracuse players with a meaningful sample size.

Rechon Black - Plays 44 minutesBlack amassed eight points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal across 44 minutes during Monday's 88-79 1OT victory over Syracuse.
ImpactBlack played a whopping 44 minutes for North Carolina on Monday as they took down Syracuse. The 6-foot-8 senior has started all 29 games for the Tarheels this season, recording five points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks on 28.2 minutes per game. Black will hope to follow up his efficient performance with another as North Carolina takes on Duke this Saturday.
