CHALK TALK Syracuse led by 11 with 4:21 left in the first half of the Feb. 25 meeting, but Marquette trailed only 32-29 at halftime and outscored the Orange 45-39 in the second half. Marquette’s bench outscored Syracuse’s bench 55-25, so the Orange will need more production from its supporting cast.
