Syracuse fan gives $175K to Boys & Girls Club for upset of No. 1 Duke

Adam Weitsman was having lunch with Jim Boeheim hours before Syracuse's upset of the No. 1 Duke Blue Devils on Monday when he looked at the veteran coach and made a prophetic declaration.

"I think you're going to win tonight," Weitsman told Boeheim. "He seemed pretty confident."

And, the philanthropist and business owner told the coach, he had made a promise on social media to donate $150,000 to the Boys & Girls Club if the Orange pulled off the upset.

If the #Syracuse men's basketball team beats Duke today I'll donate $150,000 to the local boys and girls clubs!
