SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Sophomore forward Chris Bell erupted for a career-high 25 points against Colgate on Tuesday night. The Syracuse Orange needed every point in its 24-point comeback victory.
Bell finished his night with 6-14 shooting from three point land and 9-19 overall. He eclipsed his previous career-high 17 points against Notre Dame last January. His six threes were also a career best.
“I really didn’t want to lose to Colgate for a third year in a row,” Bell declared post-game.
Bell’s performance keyed a historic Syracuse comeback. The Orange erased the 24-point deficit late in the second half in large part to Judah Mintz’s 23 points and Bell’s 25.
