Syracuse basketball got its second conference win of the season when they upset No. 18 Virginia on Saturday afternoon at the John Paul Jones Arena.
It was a thrilling 63-55 overtime victory and instantly became the best win on the season for the Orange.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.
A lot of things went wrong vs the Cavaliers and it nearly cost Syracuse the game.
The Orange lost the rebounding battle (47-to-44), Syracuse was abysmal offensively (32.8 percent from the field), and for 99 percent of the game, Buddy Boeheim couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat.
