The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball wouldn’t allow a let down on Senior Day as the team ended a four-game losing skid to beat the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 72-63 inside the JMA Wireless Dome.
With the jersey retirements of Coach Gerry McNamara and Hakim Warrick, as well as having Carmelo Anthony and other members of the 2003 National Championship team in the house, the Orange handled business on Senior Day behind the play of Jesse Edwards, who finished with 27 points, 20 rebounds, five steals and two blocks.
During the pregame Senior Day ceremony, John Bol Ajak, Symir Torrence, Jesse Edwards and Joe Girard were announced in front of the crowd in that order.
