Looking to extend the win streak, the Syracuse Orange hosted Wake Forest in a rematch game in which Syracuse dropped the first contest down in Winston-salem. The Orange cruised to open up 14 point lead in the second half, only to allow Wake back into the game with a three point barrage. In the end, Syracuse would stave off the run and win by a final score of 78-70.
Wilbekin, Crawford, Wilbekin, Wilbekin, Woods. The names of Wake Forest’s scorers rang out in rapid succession late in the second half, three after three fell, five straight, and Jim Boeheim de-jacketed.
