The Miami Hurricanes attempted to build momentum on the road at Syracuse after upsetting the No. 16 Louisville Cardinals on Saturday. But not much went right for Jim Larrañaga’s program, however, as his team struggled mightily against Syracuse’s stifling defense.
Syracuse guards Joe Girard III and Buddy Boeheim scored 23 points each, forward Quincy Guerrier notched 18, and Syracuse (8-4, 2-3 ACC) defeated Miami 83-57 (6-7, 2-6 ACC) on Tuesday night at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY.
Despite jumping out to an 11-2 lead behind sophomore forward Anthony Walker’s nine points, the Canes soon went ice-cold from the field, shooting 9-of-26 total and 0-for-11 from distance in the first half.
