SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The second meeting between the Syracuse Orange and Miami Hurricanes ended rather similarly to the first meeting. Syracuse led by as many as 18 against the Hurricanes, but once again Orange failed to ward off a pressing Miami team and collapsed late, submitting to Miami 75-72.
Just prior to tip-off, Syracuse honored its senior team managers, walk-ons and players on Senior Day. Both Jimmy and Buddy Boeheim were honored alongside Bourama Sidibe and Cole Swider. Jim Boeheim utilized a new starting lineup with senior center Sidibe replacing Frank Anselem as starter. Symir Torrence and Jesse Edwards donned polos with Torrence having a bandage on his forehead after taking a hard fall against Duke on week ago.
