Boy, did Syracuse need that.
The Syracuse Orange picked up another much needed ACC win by defeating the Clemson Tigers 91-78 on Tuesday night. The hot shooting of the Orange guards propelled the team to victory, with Buddy Boeheim and Joe Girard scoring over 20 points each.
Early on, Clemson tried to bully Syracuse on the inside. The Tigers took a large majority of their shots at the basket. Strong defense from Jesse Edwards and a cameo from Bourama Sidibe shut down a majority of that offense. Clemson, as is tradition with its offense, held off on shots early in the shot clock and couldn’t grab offensive rebounds off misses.
