John Gillon as good as it gets down the stretch for Boeheim’s Army

Brooklyn, N.Y. - Trailing by four points with less than six minutes to go, the game was certainly in question. Boeheim’s Army — the group of former Syracuse Orange ballers — needed to make something happen if it wanted to advance to the second weekend of The Basketball Tournament.

Already coming off a stellar performance from the night prior, John Gillon made that thing happen down the stretch. He led the fast break streaking up the righthand side of the court, looked as though he was going to pass to Brandon Triche who was filling the lane on the left side of the court and instead shoveled it to Hakim Warrick who was trailing the play for an emphatic slam.
