We had one part of the UNC-Syracuse game pegged: we thought that the shooters - Jim Boeheim, Joe Girard and Cole Swider - who were shut down by Duke would probably be pretty ready to prove a point in Chapel Hill, and man was Cole Swider ready.
He came within a basket of breaking the Smith Center record for most points by a visiting player (37) set by Lionel Simmons in 1990.
Moreover, he played every minute until he fouled out. The guy shot 14-21 and 7-11 from three point range.
This is why we’ve said that Syracuse could always shoot its way into a win this season.
