Syracuse 83, Georgetown 64: efficient offense, Edwards’ two-way play drive Orange to third-straight win
It was another rollercoaster ride of a rivalry game between the Syracuse Orange (5-4, 1-0 ACC) and the Georgetown Hoyas (5-5) on Saturday afternoon at the JMA Wireless Dome.
From tip-off, it was a back-and-forth affair for both programs. Less than two minutes in, the Hoyas got off to a strong 7-0 start due to sloppy play and poor defense by the Orange. At one point, Syracuse trailed 19-7 to Georgetown, leaving coach Boeheim to make some early substitutions and adjustments.
From there, the Orange were able to build some momentum. An alley-oop connection from Symir Torrence to Jesse Edwards cut the Hoyas’ lead by half, with the Orange finally getting going.
