What a difference a half makes!
After playing the first 20 minutes of the game in a lethargic daze, Syracuse basketball finally turned on the jets in the second half to overcome and pull away from St. Bonaventure. And thank goodness they did, as it would not have been much of a birthday present to Boeheim had they lost. Boeheim turned 71 yesterday.
They ended up winning the game 79-66, but the scoreline doesn’t tell the whole story.
There was certainly a lot to take away from this game, both the good and the bad.
