Syracuse, N.Y. — On Saturday afternoon, the Syracuse men’s basketball team beat the Bucknell Bison 97-46 in the second of two NIT Season Tip-Off campus games before the main event next week.
The starting lineup remained the same for the third straight game: Joe Girard III, Buddy Boeheim, Elijah Hughes, Marek Dolezaj, and Bourama Sidibe.
Bucknell won the tip, but Girard III got a steal and passed the ball in transition to Boeheim, who then kicked it to Hughes in the corner for a three-pointer on the Orange’s first possession.
