Syracuse Basketball Holds on to Beat UConn 79-76

This game was everything I hoped it would be. It was intense, it was full of energy, and it was two teams scratching and clawing their ways the entire time. Both teams played with fire and passion and it was a truly awesome game to watch as a fan. Syracuse was able to pull out the win, but I have to give credit to UConn for playing a spectacular game and really giving us a run for our money.

It certainly wasn’t a great start for the Orange, as they found themselves down 19-9 early. It looked like UConn might run away with it thanks to their powerful combo of inside and outside game.
