Syracuse Basketball Defeats Colgate 78-51: Rapid Recap
The Syracuse basketball team shook off two consecutive losses to defeat Colgate at home 78-51 in Coach Mike Hopkins second game filling in for Jim Boeheim.
Syracuse started the game off incredibly hot, hitting 5 of their first 6 three pointers and racing out to an early 15 point lead. Give credit to Colgate though, as they never let the game get away from them in the first half and made a number of big 3-pointers late to keep them within striking distance.
Malachi Richardson had the hot hand early, hitting 3 first half 3-pointers. Lydon joined him with two of his own, and Gbinije added another two. Cooney hit one as well and it was an impressive display from the outside.
