Syracuse finally got the marquee win they’ve been waiting for all season.
The Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team has faced a gauntlet of premier teams all year, and it didn’t get any easier for the ‘Cuse in the 2019 Sunshine Classic as they faced No. 19 Michigan State.
Syracuse came out firing in this one, scoring at will in the opening frame. Gabrielle Cooper had the hot hand knocking down a three at the 3:31 mark of the first which led to a Michigan State timeout as they trailed the Cuse 20-6. Syracuse looked incredibly energetic and ready to go after the long lay off.
