Syracuse bigger and better than last season Posted Nov 21, 2009 Jim Boeheim watched Johnny Flynn depart early and become the No. 6 pick in this past June's NBA draft. It sounds insane, but this is clearly an upgrade over last season's Syracuse edition. That's not to say the Orange are Final Four caliber, but they clearly belong in the conversation among the likes of West Virginia and Villanova after dominating No. 6 North Carolina in an 87-71 win on Friday night.
