Syracuse basketball earns its 1st marquee win of the season vs Virginia in OT

Things were getting dicey for the Syracuse basketball squad, but they finally won a close ACC contest with a thrilling win over Virginia. Here’s how it all played out.

First half

In the first game between these two squads, it was a mud fight that was frankly hard to watch. The first half of the rematch was no different.

Thankfully the Orange was bailed out by some deep lobs by Elijah Hughes who connected on two of his three long-range attempts. Also, Joe Girard III completed two additional triple tries and that was the difference in the first half on the scoreboard.
