SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Quadir Copeland said he couldn’t wait to call his mom and dad and tell them about his first career double-double on Monday night. The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball guard finished his night with 10 points and 13 rebounds in 27 minutes in the season-opening win over New Hampshire.
The 6-foot-6 sophomore out of Philadelphia also insists he had no idea that he had just eight points prior to his final bucket.
“I didn’t!” Copeland proclaims. “I’ll be honest. I didn’t even know I had 13 rebounds.”
Copeland’s final bucket came late in the game with just 47 seconds left, giving him double-figures for the game.
