SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Of all the things that have angered Syracuse Orange coach Jim Boeheim over the last two games, rebounding stands out.In losing by a combined 31 points to No. 20 South Carolina and No. 17 Wisconsin in the last week, the No. 22 Orange were outrebounded 77-55.Against the Badgers on Tuesday, Syracuse held a 16-15 rebounding edge at halftime but was outrebounded 25-9 in the second half of a 77-60 loss in an ACC-Big Ten Challenge game at the Kohl Center.They got on the boards and we didnt, Boeheim said. Its not very technical.So rebounding will be the primary point of emphasis for Syracuse when the Orange (4-2) host the North Florida Ospreys (3-6) on Saturday afternoon at the Carrier Dome.The Atlantic Sun Conference-member Ospreys employ a three-guard system, but two of their starting guards are 6-foot-5 (Aaron Bodager and Nick Malonga) and they also start a 6-8 forward (Chris Davenport) and 6-11 center (Romelo Banks).North Florida has outrebounded its opponents by an average of 39.6-34.3 this season, and the Ospreys held their own on the boards in a 91-60 loss to No. 24 Florida last Thursday as they trailed only 32-29 in rebounds.Syracuse is outrebounding its opponents 40-35.3 per game this season, but thats mainly because the Oranges first four games were against Colgate, Holy Cross, Monmouth and South Carolina State.Syracuse needs more rebounding production out of senior forward Tyler Roberson, who averaged 8.5 boards per game last year but is at 5.7 this year, and the Orange guards in their 2/3 zone defense need to grab more of the longer rebounds.Rebounding wasnt the only issue for Syracuse against South Carolina and Wisconsin. After shooting 50.2 percent from the floor and 45.7 percent from 3-point range in their first four games, the Orange shot 41.5 and 27.8 against the Gamecocks and Badgers.And defensively, South Carolina and especially Wisconsin sliced up Syracuses zone as the Oranges six new players continue to learn the nuances of the defense. Wisconsin shot 49.2 percent from the field and went 11-for-23 (47.8 percent) from 3-point range after making just 31 percent of its 3-point shots in its first seven games.We didnt cover areas that we have to cover, Boeheim said. And they made pretty easy shots, pretty wide open shots.Under coach Matthew Driscoll, the Ospreys havent shied away from scheduling Power Five conference teams as theyve already played (and lost to) Auburn, Miami, LSU and Florida this season with Syracuse, Arkansas and Connecticut to follow.Against Florida, Ospreys senior guard and NBA prospect Dallas Moore scored a game-high 31 points on 12-for-21 shooting (including 6-for-12 from beyond the arc), but it wasnt nearly enough as the Gators bench outscored North Floridas bench 51-16.Dallas was obviously one of the best players on the floor and thats why the NBA scouts were here (Thursday night), Driscoll said. Dallas is a special talent and I dont know if we will have another one around here like him. I hope we do because it makes my job easier for sure.Moore, the Atlantic Sun ConferencePreseason Player of the Year, leads the Ospreys in scoring at 20.4 points per game and is second in assists with 26. Banks is averaging 10.4 points per game and a team-high 6.1 rebounds per contest.John Gant Jersey .Y. - Jerome Samson scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the St. Ted Simmons Cardinals Jersey .

Ive got to keep a good eye on him, I have got to treat him as my biggest rival. He did a good time trial, and at the Ventoux he was able to sit in my wheel.Courtesy of an impressive performance in the time trial, Froome leads Mollema by 1:47 overall, with Briton Adam Yates in third place, 2:45 back.Im very happy with my time trial, I have more room to breathe, but the Tour is not over, there is a long way to go.Seventh overall last year, Mollema is aa strong allrounder with excellent climbing abilities, and rides for the Trek-Segafredo team.dddddddddddd.He could be even closer to the yellow jersey if the race jury had not reinstated Froome at the top of the standings following the chaotic Mont Ventoux stage marred by a motorbike incident.Richie Porte hit a TV motorbike, and Mollema and Froome also crashed. Mollema was unscathed and crossed the finish line first, but race officials ultimately awarded Porte and Froome the same time as the Dutchman, calling the incident exceptional circumstances.Froome defended the jurys decision on Saturday.That moto caused the accident for us, it would be a shame if the race was so heavily influenced by an incident like that, he said. I feel they made the right decision.Despite Quintanas lack of impact on the race so far, Froome remains fearful of the Colombians reaction in the Alps.No doubt he is going to attack in the Alps. If Nairos history has anything to go by, we know hes very strong in the last week, he is going to be trying, Froome said. My expectations for the last week are that it will be a very testing week, probably tougher than what we had up until now. ' ' '
