Boeheim’s Army staves off Liberty Ballers in 78-72 win, advances to Elite 8

After receiving a pass from Rick Jackson, Terrence Roberts fought his way between two defenders in the paint and threw down a dunk to give Boeheim’s Army a 63-60 lead.

As Roberts trotted back on defense, he dropped his hands below his waist and flexed both biceps.

Roberts’ slam sparked a crucial stretch in which top-seeded Boeheim’s Army went on a 9-4 run en route to the 78-72 win over No. 5 seed Liberty Ballers in the Super 17 of The Basketball Tournament in Chicago on Friday night. The team made up of mostly Syracuse alumni will take on No.
