Syracuse’s 88–79 loss to Duke Thursday ended Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim’s quest for his first-career ACC Championship trophy.
The loss also likely marked the end of the college careers of Buddy Boeheim, the ACC’s leading scorer (19.2 PPG), and graduate student Jimmy Boeheim, the sons of Jim and his wife of 25 years, Juli.
After anchoring the Orange for much of the season, the brothers Boeheim were unable to share the floor on Thursday after the ACC suspended Buddy, a first-team All-ACC selection in his senior season, for throwing a punch in Wednesday’s win over Florida State.
