Syracuse Orange men’s basketball began preseason play with a less-than-inspiring performance, but the young squad came alive in the second half to pull past the IUP Crimson Hawks
A 16-0 run in the middle of the 2nd half was the turning point, as SU erased a seven-point deficit and kept the lead for the rest of the game. That run included seven in a row from Benny Williams, who ended up with 15 on the night.
Joe Girard led the scoring with 17 points, followed by Jessee Edwards with 16, Benny’s 15, and Judah Mintz with 14.
