Syracuse basketball forward Alan Griffin saves the day with block against Buffalo

Things looked dire for the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team when it turned the ball over to Buffalo with less than 10 seconds to play. With the score tied at 87 and the Bulls off the races, junior forward Alan Griffin made a game-saving block that allowed Syracuse to earn a win in overtime.

Following a turnover with the game clock winding down, Buffalo pushed the ball ahead in transition to senior guard Jayvon Graves. Buddy Boeheim tried to intercept the outlet, but Graves did his best Stefon Diggs impression and hauled in the pass over the defense.
