Buddy Boeheim Releases Statement About Punch During Syracuse vs. Florida State

Syracuse guard Buddy Boeheim, son of coach coach Jim Boeheim, doesn’t have a reputation as a dirty player. But it’s impossible to defend one moment from the guard early in today’s ACC tournament blowout win over Florida State.

Midway through the first half, after a made three-pointer by Syracuse’s Joe Girard, Boeheim paused as he turned up the court and caught Wyatt Wilkes with a blow to the mid-section. No foul was called on the play, but pretty clear video was caught of the incident.

Boeheim would go on to score 14 points as the Orange drubbed the Seminoles, 96–57.
