Behind big performances by Demetris Nichols and Willie Deane, the Orange alumni won its first game and advance to play again tomorrow at 4:15.
Boeheim's Army didn't get off to an auspicious start at Philadelphia University, but the Orange alumni (accompanied by Willie Deane and Olu Famutimi) finished strong for a 91-73 win over the NYCSuperstars.
The team struggled initially on the offensive end but did come out in a 2-3 zone -- as if anyone really thought they would play anything different.
Willie Deane proved his worth by playing steady at point -- he controlled the ball and knocked down a three before the halftime buzzer to put Boeheim's Army up 9.
