Syracuse Holds Moment of Silence for Man Killed in Crash Involving Jim Boeheim

Syracuse held a moment of silence for the man killed in the fatal crash involving coach Jim Boeheim ahead of Saturday night's game against Duke.

The Carrier Dome went quiet to honor Jorge Jimenez, the 51-year-old man who died after being struck by Boeheim's car late on Wednesday night.

"Tonight, as we come together as one Orange community, we recognize all of those impacted by this tragedy and honor the life of Mr. Jimenez," the public address announcer said before the game.

Earlier, the crowd clapped for Boeheim as he walked onto the court from the locker room.
