Felisha Legette-Jack after 41-point loss at Boston College: ‘This is a rebuild’ (video)

Syracuse, N.Y. — Syracuse women’s basketball coach Felisha Legette-Jack called the Orange’s 92-51 loss at Boston College on Sunday afternoon “a good old-fashioned a— whooping.”

The 41-point loss was the worst in Legette-Jack’s tenure at Syracuse and was the Orange’s largest margin of defeat in ACC play since losing by 42 at No. 4 North Carolina State on Feb. 20, 2022.

Legette-Jack said the team learned top scorer Georgia Woolley was unavailable to play during warm-ups. The late scratch stifled the team, the coach said.

The loss dropped the Orange to 7-11 on the season and 1-6 in the ACC heading into its next game against North Carolina State (14-4, 6-1) on Thursday night in the JMA Wireless Dome.

Here are other key takeaways from Legette-Jack’s postgame comments following Sunday’s game:

• Legette-Jack points out that the team’s bigs failed to assert dominance, stating that although it had a size advantage, the opponent was stronger. She attributes this to issues with the team’s weight training and heart.
• Despite the loss, the coach defends her players’ effort, asserting they gave their best. She expresses frustration at questions about their commitment.
• Legette-Jack acknowledges the need to regroup and improve, focusing on physical strength and mental resilience. She refers to their current situation as a “rebuild,” indicating the team is in transition and must adapt.
