‘What this program needs to be’: Amarri Monroe shines off the Syracuse bench
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Amarri Monroe sees the ball drop out of CCSU’s hands and starts sprinting. He makes a final play for the ball, diving on the floor to corral it. After a short jostle, Syracuse forces a tie-up with the possession arrow in its favor.
The scoreboard read 92-45 with under four minutes to play.
“What Amarri Monroe did,” head coach Gerry McNamara said. “Is what this program needs to be.”
Monroe played just 17 minutes, but they were the best 17 minutes that he has played in a Syracuse uniform. He scored eight points, grabbed four rebounds, and dished out three assists on four-for-five shooting as the Orange stomped Central Connecticut State 102-49 on Thursday night.
