The Syracuse Orange aren’t in action today but we can’t spend St. Patrick’s Day crying in our green beer. Let’s take a look back at some memorable Syracuse NCAA Tournament first round games.
- 1957: First NCAA game for the Orange as Gary Clark and Vin Cohen combine for 50 points to lead Syracuse past UConn in Madison Square Garden.
- 1966: Jim Boeheim’s first NCAA game as a player results in a 94-78 win over Davidson in Raleigh. Boeheim scores 14 points on 7-9 shooting while Dave Bing scores 20 points to go with 12 rebounds and 8 assists.
