Almost, but not quite.
After trailing against the Bryant Bulldogs 40-29 at halftime, the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team surged back in the second half, taking its first lead with just three minutes left in the game.
And then, Bryant’s Sherif Gross-Bullock made the game-winning layup with just 0.8 seconds left on the clock to secure a 73-72 win for the Bulldogs (5-1) over the Orange (3-3).
Despite a second-half surge by Syracuse, it wasn’t a pretty game for either team. Both programs combined to shoot 47 free throws in what became a physical battle throughout.
