SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Freshman forward Chris Bell scored a career-high 17 points on Saturday, helping the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team to a win over Notre Dame with timely shooting down the stretch.
Bell, who has started every game this season for Jim Boeheim, eclipsed his previous high of 14 points against Bryant. He shot 6-9 from the floor and 5-8 from three against Notre Dame.
“I thought early that Chris looked good. He looked like he had a feel for it tonight,” Boeheim said after the game.
Bell connected on 3-4 from deep in the first half, but he also knocked down a pair of important threes in the second when Notre Dame went zone.
