The ACC has suspended Syracuse Orange basketball player Buddy Boeheim after striking Florida State Seminoles basketball player Wyatt Wilkes in the second round of the ACC Tournament.
From the release:
“The Atlantic Coast Conference today announced a one-game suspension for Syracuse men’s basketball student-athlete Buddy Boeheim as a result of a flagrant act committed during the first half of the Syracuse-Florida State game,’’ the release read. “Boeheim will miss Syracuse’s Thursday ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament game versus Duke.’’
Florida State head coach Leonard Hamilton harbored no frustration over the incident, chalking it up to a heat-of-the-moment mistake.
