After a rough 76-71 Saturday night loss to the FSU Seminoles at home, Syracuse looked to bounce back against the Clemson Tigers and got the job done beating their ACC foe 91-78 in the Dome.
Syracuse was led behind the performances of Buddy Boeheim and Joe Girard, who combined for 48 total points, and Jesse Edward’s double-double with 15 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks. The Orange shot an efficient 53.4% from the field and 40.9% from beyond the arc while holding the Tigers to 49.2% and 29.6% from the field and three-point line. While the win was dominant, there continue to be some specific areas of weakness that are repeatedly hurting Syracuse’s overall performance during games.
