Notre Dame 79, Syracuse 69: Orange lose hard fought battle after poor second half shooting

After winning back-to-back games, the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball fell to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 79-69 in a hard-fought battle Wednesday night.

Jimmy Boeheim had a season-high 27 points on 10-18 shooting with 7 rebounds but outside of his brother and Swider, Syracuse fought but couldn't get their shots to fall in a back and fourth offensive game.

Right off the opening tip, Syracuse got straight to shooting. The Orange nor the Fighting Irish could get on the board for the first 90 seconds of the game until Jimmy Boeheim hit a post hook in the paint to get the first points on the board for either team.
