In the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball win over the Miami Hurricanes, sophomore center Jesse Edwards emerged with a season-high seven points and a career-high six rebounds. The Orange were once again without senior Bourama Sidibe, who went down in the season-opener with a torn meniscus. Sidibe hasn’t been practicing recently.
After Marek Dolezaj picked up his second foul just six minutes into the game, Jim Boeheim turned to the 6-foot-11 Edwards, who provided strong minutes on both ends of the floor. Boeheim described Edwards as “monstrous” and said it was by far the best he’s played at Syracuse.
