In a game that would have have boosted the Syracuse Orange’s resume a ton, the Orange came out connecting on both ends. A quick 4-0 lead showcased inside scoring and crisp passing — however, that didn’t last long.
Turnovers in the first half led to the Miami Hurricanes taking an eight-point lead into the second half, a scenario Syracuse has found themselves in countless times this season.
However, the common Syracuse comeback story came up a little short, as a pull up three by John Gillon fell short, and the Orange — once again — failed to win an ACC tournament, losing 62-57.
