Syracuse 79, Colgate 75: Orange complete 24 point comeback behind full court press
Rich Barnes-USA TODAY SportsSYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team (3-0) trailed by as many as 24, but came from behind in the second half to beat the Colgate Red Raiders (1-1) in the 175th meeting between the two programs by a final score of 79-75. On a night where Syracuse’s relative youth and inexperience showed, Colgate looked the part of a more experienced team with better execution for the first 24 minutes.
Then came the full court pressure.
On a night where fans inside the JMA Wireless Dome both cheered and jeered the Orange, Syracuse came all the way back from down 24 to both tie and take the lead with just over one minute left as Colgate collapsed.
