Virginia dropped its third ACC game of the season, falling 66-62 at Syracuse on Saturday afternoon. The Orange win gave Jim Boeheim his 1,000th career coaching win.
The Hoos had a strong first half, heading into the locker room with a 34-22 lead.
But for anyone who watched last March’s matchup between Syracuse and Virginia, the Cavaliers’ 12-point lead at the half felt anything but safe. A seven-minute Virginia scoring drought to open up the second half confirmed all the Wahoos’ fears, as the Orange came out with a 19-2 run to take their first lead of the afternoon.
