Pittsburgh 63, Syracuse 60: Orange lose heartbreaker down the stretch

After almost three weeks of playing no games, Syracuse came out the gates HOT shooting from deep. The Orange cooled off later in the half, however and struggled down the stretch against Pittsburgh, resulting in a 63-60 loss inside the Carrier Dome.

Brooklyn native, Femi Odukale was doing his best to provide his team the needed energy to comeback into this one through hustle plays and activity in the paint. I’ve watched Femi play my whole life growing up in Brooklyn. I first played against him in middle school. He was always good at using his length defensively while also slashing through zones to catch defenses off guard.
