They were down by just 2 points with 15 second to go in the game, but having to foul to slow the clock resulted in the Eagles losing today’s ACC Tournament game to Syracuse by a score of 67-61. The Eagles stayed competitive throughout today’s game, despite being the #13 seed to Syracuse’s #5 seed, but the Orange outplayed them just enough to keep any real comeback attempt from taking hold.
The Orange took a 4 point lead, and except for a brief moment when they were up by 1, the Eagles just couldn’t overcome that small deficit.
