Syracuse basketball, Elijah Hughes stuns North Carolina in ACC Tournament

Syracuse basketball isn’t finished just yet in the ACC Tournament. Thanks to a thrilling performance from Elijah Hughes over North Carolina, the Orange remain very much alive!

Syracuse got off to a red hot start and led by as many as 21 points in the first half vs North Carolina. Elijah Hughes after missing the second half vs Miami in the regular-season finale didn’t appear to have any setbacks in this contest.

After struggling to convert deep recently, Hughes put the Orange on his back making multiple triple tries to put his squad up early and often in the second round of the ACC Tournament.
