There’s a reason this game was placed in primetime between the Syracuse basketball squad and the Virginia Tech Hokies.
The Orange entered this game 5-1 in conference and winners of seven of their last eight games. But perhaps the most impressive statistic was their undefeated true road record (3-0: at Ohio State, at Notre Dame, and at Duke), well that streak came to a crashing halt vs the Virginia Tech Hokies.
VA Tech entered this game with an impressive streak of their own: no blemishes at home this season. Syracuse didn’t change that.
In the first half, Syracuse actually shot decent from beyond the arc finishing 6-of-16.
