Syracuse basketball big man Marek Dolezaj is tough as nails.
Former Syracuse basketball power forward Tyler Lydon may have connected on a 3-pointer in the 2016 Elite Eight versus top-seeded Virginia minus one of his shoes, but he’s got nothing on what current Orange power forward/center Marek Dolezaj did on Saturday night against Georgetown.
Dolezaj, in what head coach Jim Boeheim described as an “accidental play,” lost part of one of his front teeth toward the end of the ‘Cuse 74-69 victory over the Hoyas in a non-conference bruiser from the Carrier Dome.
