Syracuse basketball head coach Jim Boeheim didn’t provide much optimism in his UNC post-game presser.
Give Syracuse basketball credit for coming back on Tuesday evening versus North Carolina on multiple occasions.
The Tar Heels, with their bruisers in the paint, absolutely torched the Orange on the boards and built up double-digit leads against the ‘Cuse more than once.
Yet Syracuse basketball, despite its huge disadvantage on the glass and in second-chance points, didn’t wither away. The Orange even had a one-point edge with under four minutes remaining in the second half.
