SYRACUSE, N.Y. — For the first time all season, the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team won three straight games after dispatching the Louisville Cardinals by a final score of 92-69 inside the Carrier Dome.
Louisville was without leading scorer and rebounder Malik Williams for the second consecutive game.
Syracuse started the game hot on offense with 4-4 shooting thanks to a Jimmy Boeheim bucket down low, two Jesse Edwards scores inside and a Buddy Boeheim triple, but three turnovers had the Orange up just one at the first media timeout.
From there, Syracuse made a concerted effort to look to Edwards down low and he rewarded his teammates’ trust with two more buckets inside—including a three-point play—plus an assist to Cole Swider in the corner for a wide open three.
