The annual Boeheim-family event certainly didn’t disappoint, as the Syracuse basketball squad and sophomore guard Buddy Boeheim used a second-half run to defeat Cornell and his older brother, junior forward Jimmy Boeheim, who notched an affair-high 25 points.
Buddy Boeheim, meanwhile, struggled from the field, but he did collect 16 points, and that’s not too shabby, either. Redshirt junior forward Elijah Hughes guided the Orange with 22 points and seven assists, and the ‘Cuse (3-1, 0-1) secured a 72-53 success against the Big Red (1-4) on Wednesday night inside the Carrier Dome.
I have the utmost admiration for Cornell and the strategy that it executed in this fun, yet emotionally charged encounter.
