SYRACUSE, N.Y. – A season-high 14 three-pointers, including six from Elijah Hughes, led Syracuse (14-5, 5-1 ACC) to a 73-50 defeat of Miami (9-9, 1-5 ACC) Thursday night at the Carrier Dome. The Orange finished the night 14-of-30 from three-point range, just one shy of a school record 15 that came on March 4, 2017 against Georgia Tech.
Hughes' six three-pointers helped him to tie a career-high 22 points on a hot-shooting hand that saw a 6-of-9 performance from behind the arc and 8-of-13 from the floor. The redshirt junior had an all-around complete game contributing three rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks.
