Syracuse 72, Pittsburgh 49: The Orange blow out Panthers on the road

After calling out his big men earlier in the week, Jim Boeheim’s entire squad answered the call in a 72-49 blowout of the Pittsburgh Panthers at the Peterson Events Center.

The game started off like both teams were auditioning to re-enter the Big East, if the Big East was the permanently frozen in the first to 50 era. The Orange started off 3-10 from the field and 0-5 from 3, which is almost the exact opposite of the momentum from the Georgia Tech victory. Because this is the weirdest timeline, Bourama Sidibe carried ‘Cuse, putting up the first 4 points.
