SYRACUSE, N.Y. — After a six-day hiatus, the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team returned home and survived against the N.C. State Wolfpack by a final score of 76-73. The Orange moved to 9-1 inside the Carrier Dome this season.
N.C. State was without its two leading scorers as Devon Daniels suffered an ACL injury earlier in the week against Wake Forest. DJ Funderburk was held out for “disciplinary reasons,” according to NC State. Jim Boeheim made no changes to his starters, going with Joe Girard, Buddy Boeheim, Alan Griffin, Quincy Guerrier and Marek Dolezaj.
