In last home game, Vasiljevic lifts Miami over Syracuse in overtime

After 40 minutes of play, seven lead changes, 10 tied scores and a four-point lead with 16 seconds left in regulation, the Miami Hurricanes needed an extra five minutes of overtime play before they said goodbye to the Watsco Center this season.

In the last regular season game, Miami, without leading scorer Chris Lykes, defeated the Syracuse Orange 69-65 Saturday afternoon. Lykes was taken to the hospital after Miami’s game against Virginia on March 4 with injuries to his face.

Miami senior DJ Vasiljevic and redshirt senior Keith Stone were both honored as the team’s only two senior before tip-off.
