The Basketball Tournament heated up in Atlanta as tensions flared in a 73-69 win for Boeheim’s Army over Armored Athlete. The scuffles weren’t quite as hot as Eric Devendorf’s jumper — the force that carried them to their most comfortable second half edge of the tournament so far. They would stave off a string of four straight threes by the Victor Oladipo-backed team that returned the game into a shadow of doubt.
Dominique Sutton and Devendorf began the first half piled on the floor and both sat sidelined when the final heave before halftime flew up.
