Both teams are coming off…

Kevin Rice pumped his arms above his head with two hands on his stick as if he was performing a bench press. And then he did it again. And again. It was an homage to Randy Staats, who missed No. 1 Syracuse’s (7-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) 19-7 win over No. 4 Duke (7-2, 0-1) with a lower-body injury and usually celebrates goals with this hand gesture. And even without its…
