Syracuse basketball fans received some great news just prior to tip vs Florida State, Elijah Hughes had returned to the lineup.
Earlier in the week, Hughes had suffered a groin strain in warmups vs NC State and only managed to play a few minutes before he took himself out.
Historically groin strains can keep athletes out anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Leading up to the game, the Orange were hush-hush about his status.
The only lead we had was Elijah’s two-worded tweet, “nothing major.”
On Saturday he was a man of his word.
