Nobody quite digs itself into an early like hole like the Syracuse Orange. But, by that same token, nobody quite digs itself out of an early like quite like Syracuse as the Orange quickly rebounded from a nine-point deficit, took the lead and collected another road victory by a final score of 77-71.
As mentioned, Syracuse found itself trailing by 15-6 before the second media timeout after a pair of turnovers and missed shots. That is until Elijah Hughes knocked down back-to-back triples, Tyus Battle had a wild layup find the bottom of the net, Oshae Brissett had a raucous dunk followed by a strong drive and finish and Frank Howard hit a jumper to cap 14-0 Syracuse run.
