Syracuse Basketball: Orange Wastes Lydon's Season-Best Shooting Performance In Loss

The Syracuse Orange (18-10, 8-7 in ACC) collapsed late and suffered a brutal 66-52 loss to the Pittsburgh Panthers (19-7, 8-6 in ACC) Saturday afternoon, despite a scoring surge from freshman Tyler Lydon.

Lydon, who is typically the first man off the bench for the Orange, didn't score his first basket until seven minutes into the game – and proceeded to shoot lights out from there on out. The 6' 8" big man finished the game with 21 points on eight-for-12 shooting from the field, and four-for-eight from behind the arc.

The 21 points and 66.
