Senior center Jesse Edwards tied his career-high in a 22-point, 14-rebound effort leading the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team to a 62-61 road victory at Notre Dame. Edwards previously reached a career high when he scored 22 points at Miami last season. His double-double was the third this season and fifth of his career.
Edwards was able to get established in the paint early on against Notre Dame. Getting him the ball was part of Jim Boeheim’s offensive game plan. Syracuse was determined to find him and he scored eight of the Orange’s first ten points off rolls, lob action and even a raucous putback dunk.
