"We just have to rebound," said SU forward Kris Joseph, who leads the Orange at 6.1 rebounds per game. "I think we can do a better job. It’s about effort and will when it comes to rebounding.

Yes, Syracuse has played a really easy schedule -- so what? Teams play easy schedules all the time. Ohio State actually has played a softer slate than the Orange, even allowing for the fact that the Buckeyes just played a road game at Kansas (and lost, although they were without Jared Sullinger). Also, keep in mind that the Syracuse schedule is not entirely within Boeheim's control. Most of it is, but consider that his team's game in the Big East/SEC Challenge against Florida just happened to be a home date this season.
