00:00 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:03 >> And jealous someone too, very hesitant to take average to below average shots.
00:08 >> [APPLAUSE] >> Hung up in the rafters here inside
00:12 the dome.
00:13 >> How about that for some Syracuse lineage?
00:16 And also Lexi was an original commit to Buffalo, but
00:18 she switched to Syracuse with Coach Jeff.
00:20 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:23 >> Two for one opportunity for Syracuse here, 45 seconds remaining in the third.
00:27 >> De'Asia Fair with the righty hook, beautiful touch.
00:31 >> It's gonna come in handy, especially in ACC play,
00:34 we're gonna see similar body types on the other elite teams.
00:37 >> Fair will stop, great pick and roll in the finish.
00:40 >> [APPLAUSE] >> So
00:41 the Sharks take a one point lead into the second frame.
00:44 Syracuse, gotta get some kind of a spark offensively, maybe it's Fair, it is.
00:49 >> Space in the paint.
00:51 >> Fair is on the wooden award watch list, is also on the ACC newcomer watch list.
00:56 >> Filling the hole that Lewis left in the front court.
00:59 >> De'Asia Fair, some nifty moves, the scoop shot won't count.
01:03 But drew the foul in the process.
01:06 >> And Fair blowing by Hatcher, getting the step, drawing the foul, and
01:10 then able to- >> Fresh 20 on the shot clock for
01:12 the Cuse.
01:13 De'Asia Fair, can she open the scoring?
01:16 She can.
01:16 >> That's why she's the leading scorer on this team.
01:20 >> Another miss from Reigns from Bucknell.
01:23 That was Isabella King.
01:25 Fair, off balance, doesn't matter.
01:28 She's so nifty.
01:29 >> Just over three minutes in.
01:30 Kirk said, don't let the record make you think something else.
01:35 This is a team that can score.
01:37 Fair is money from downtown.
01:40 Time to make sure that ball wouldn't go out of bounds.
01:43 Now Fair, getting jiggy with it, up and in.
01:47 De'Asia Fair, how do you make it look so easy?
01:51 >> Were you a five like Sanaya Wilson?
01:53 >> No, I was not.
01:55 >> Wilson runs the floor, and maybe Michael Gross did that back in his heyday.
01:59 >> Word and, hey, she might be six feet tall, but she can run the floor with whoever.
02:04 >> And once again, another good outlet pass, and
02:06 then they just give it to her, a little shift.
02:08 >> Shot selection right now.
02:09 >> They get it into the hands of Fair.
02:11 >> Shot selection right now is so important for Syracuse.
02:14 >> Fair, got it, and the foul.
02:19 What a play by the Buffalo transfer.
02:21 A layup, Fair, crossover, and
02:25 then just uses her body to get it up and in, and her bench loves it.
02:29 >> Hagerstrand going to the basket, no good, and here's De'Asia Fair.
02:34 She wants to push the pace through three Auburn defenders,
02:37 gets to lefty, floated a drop.
02:39 Syracuse will still be on defense.
02:42 >> Syracuse emphasizes moving it in transition, and
02:44 they have that speed with De'Asia Fair finishing.
02:47 >> Doesn't get it to drop, but Hagerstrand on the rebound.
02:50 >> Tough put back, no good, and here's the deuce on the break.
02:54 De'Asia Fair has one speed, that's fast, and one.
02:57 >> And one for the Orange, and getting the kids excited here in the building.
03:03 Syracuse does it best going in transition, and Fair keeps this.
03:06 >> Is a lefty, so Syracuse defense right now,
03:09 that's her third left handed easy layup, they have to push her right.
03:13 >> And Fair answers right back with a three of her own, De'Asia Fair.
03:17 >> [APPLAUSE] >> Fair just took it from Russell.
03:24 >> [APPLAUSE] >> Hyman, nice pass underneath the loop.
03:31 >> Fair missed a three, but rebounded by Wood.
03:34 Right back to Fair, love this matchup.
03:37 Fair goes to Rivers and scores over her.
03:40 Every team around college basketball practically has that story, but
03:44 it's just something to marvel at.
03:46 >> [APPLAUSE] >> No team's the same.
03:49 >> It's a blocking foul.
03:52 >> Early in that timeout, you saw Lewis having a little discussion with her,
03:56 trying to get her to get her game going.
03:58 Maybe this will get her going, nice finish against.
04:02 >> Amber Brown, a lot of contact, no whistle.
04:08 Fair on the move, crosses over, looking for options.
04:14 Wooley, got it, tie game.
04:17 >> Been very successful with that, able to break it as Lewis gets it across.
04:23 Outside three, launched and hit, we're tied at five.
04:26 There's your first three points of the game.
04:28 >> Is that zone defense Syracuse is gonna sit in all day?
04:32 And it is. >> Of course the turnover.
04:33 >> Yep, Lewis got it, out in front and the foul.
04:37 >> Live ball turnovers often lead to run outs, and that's exactly the case.
04:41 >> Nice finish there by the aforementioned Dariana Lewis, through the contact.
04:46 >> And they've been making it a game for the first time for Boston College.
04:50 >> And here is Fair on the run.
04:52 >> [APPLAUSE]
04:55 [BLANK_AUDIO]
04:59 >> Fair, drive into the basket, why not?
05:02 >> [APPLAUSE]
05:04 >> Cards for these teams, well here's why.
05:07 Kick started a little bit with their offense, eight to shoot for the Irish.
05:11 Good hands by Fair, goes behind the back, adding off.
05:18 Little extra play as she goes down the floor.
05:20 >> Has been their Achilles heel, for now Fortner's Club it's been the third.
05:24 They have beaten Syracuse four straight times inbound batted by Fair,
05:29 leaking out, she tracks it down, she lays it in.
05:32 >> 24 points.
05:36 Another turnover for Duke.
05:39 Leads to two on the other side for the Orange.
05:41 >> Less casual, less careless,
05:44 just not making the decision before it actually develops.
05:48 >> Sam Brunel drew two Syracuse defenders, so somebody was open.
05:52 Coach Mox told us Alexia Smith, the most under recognized player on her team,
06:00 as De'Asia Fair steps into a far wing triple.
06:03 >> She averages under six per game, so
06:05 already doing more than what she typically does.
06:09 >> Fair, her second three of the night.
06:11 >> They can no longer do that, especially against a player like Fair.
06:15 >> Fair loses her defender, and scores.
06:22 >> Essentially only using one leg after she got hurt.
06:25 >> You see how it affects her right there,
06:27 having to jump off that right leg cuz she's just not getting lift.
06:30 >> Going into the ACC tournament last year, they did make it to the semifinals.
06:35 Had to go through North Carolina, who is the number four team, and
06:38 got the win in overtime, but Fair hits the triple.
06:41 >> That's what you'll see.
06:42 >> [NOISE]
06:47 >> There's Fair doing it by herself in
06:49 the end one.
06:50 >> Fair's the only player that had the possession on this one for
06:56 Syracuse and tried inside on trailer.
06:59 >> But Coach Mack on the BC side said they also like to play fast.
07:02 >> Yeah, they wanna be able to stop Syracuse in transition.
07:06 >> Splash from De'Asia Fair in the JMA Dome.
07:10 De'Asia Fair hitting the three.
07:12 Fair is pushing ahead, she's got Wooley.
07:15 Goes right to the rim, pulls up, and hits.
07:19 De'Asia Fair with the celebration afterward as she gives the Orange a 19-17 lead.
07:25 >> And this is what they're trying to prevent here, Carl.
07:27 The fast break, the transition opportunities.
07:30 When Fair gets downhill, she's hard to stop.
07:32 And look at that, De'Asia Fair, not much.
07:34 >> [NOISE]
07:38 >> 30 seconds to go, Syracuse up 11.
07:40 Fair, why not?
07:41 Let it fly.
07:42 >> [APPLAUSE]
07:44 >> Goodness, De'Asia Fair.
07:46 First off, great pass by Lewis to find the space.
07:49 Fair, an open look from very deep and just gets brushed off the ball at the last
07:53 second.
07:54 >> De'Asia Fair, four points in the first quarter, leading scorer for Syracuse.
07:59 >> Kind of been held in check a little bit.
08:01 Gets the ball here, open for three.
08:03 Don't count it for long, though, because she can hit those for the best of them.
08:07 >> Here is De'Asia Fair.
08:08 Thought about it.
08:09 >> Ooh, I thought she was going to pull that, Sam.
08:12 My goodness.
08:13 >> That's a tough shot, about as tough as you will see all afternoon.
08:17 >> Following Coach Jack over from Buffalo, a number of players that did that.
08:20 Tisha Hyman into the game, finds Fair.
08:24 She's not going to be much more open than that all night long, and that's what
08:27 happens.
08:28 >> ATO, you get an executed bucket, and then you get a steal.
08:31 And now you get an easy opportunity in transition.
08:35 De'Asia Fair just needs to get organized.
08:39 >> Jasmine Roberts.
08:43 And then great defense again.
08:45 De'Asia Fair with the anticipation.
08:48 And the two at the other end.
08:50 >> You see, to start this game early, both teams are in zone.
08:52 Pitt has been going predominantly with their zone these last six games, but
08:57 Syracuse will switch it up a bit as they have been playing zone a little bit more
09:01 lately.
09:03 >> It's Dariana Lewis.
09:05 >> Malia Johnson, 5, Syracuse, 2.
09:07 >> Pass down to the opposite block.
09:13 Lewis goes up strong and responds for Syracuse.
09:19 >> Rivers just absolutely hounded by Fair.
09:22 Here's a two on one the other way with Hyman.
09:25 Unselfish play by Fair.
09:27 Hyman gets it home.
