Syracuse Basketball: Jordan Crawford carries Boeheim’s Army to victory

Survive and advance is the name of the game and that’s exactly what Boeheim’s Army did in the opening round of the Syracuse regional vs We Are D3.

An unlikely hero stepped up to the plate in former NBA star Jordan Crawford.

He’s the lone non-Syracuse alum on a squad filled with former Orange legends across many different eras.

Many people questioned why he was on this team and he proved his worth on Friday night. Jordan led Boeheim’s Army in points with 17 and ended up hitting the game-clinching free throw to escape with the narrow 68-65 victory to advance.
