Syracuse 94, Wake Forest 72: Orange bury Demon Deacons in second half

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team ended a two-game losing streak, blowing past Wake Forest by a final score of 94-72 with a 55-point second half effort.

On a night where there were seemingly as many Giannis Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks jerseys as there were Carmelo Anthony Syracuse jerseys, Buddy Boeheim poured in 30 points to lead the Orange in front of an announced crowd of 23,194.

Following spraining a knee ligament at Duke last Saturday, Symir Torrence returned after missing just one game at Pittsburgh. John Bol Ajak was unavailable due to a covid-related issue.
