“Well, they made some tough shots, last-second shots,” Battle said. “That happens. I thought we did a pretty good job defensively most of the game. We had a couple breakdowns where we let guys we didn’t want to shoot, shoot the ball.”

“We are universally felt to be, I think by everybody, the No. 1 conference in the country,” Boeheim said. “We finished seventh, tied for seventh.
