Good news for Jeff Capel and bad for Jim Boeheim: Pitt knocked off Syracuse 64-53 at home. Syracuse held John Hugley to 11 points but he had a huge night on the boards with 18 including eight on the offensive end. Jamarius Burton scored 21, including 17 in the second half.
Buddy Boeheim scored 25 to pace Syracuse. Former high school scoring phenom Joe Girard was 1-9.
On the bright side, foul-prone Jesse Edwards only picked up two in this game.
Syracuse is now 9-11 and restless fans will be more so.
But they won’t be anymore restless than folks at the ‘Ville: news broke Tuesday evening that Louisville has had enough and, despite having an interim AD and president, has decided to part ways with Chris Mack.
