The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team (11-11, 5-6) picked up its second true road win of the season at North Carolina State (10-13, 3-9) on Wednesday night, handling the Wolfpack late to win 89-82.
All Syracuse starters scored in double-figures while the bench failed to score. Syracuse trailed 45-42 at the break, but the three-point defense improved marginally in the second half while the offense kept scoring as NC State had little success thwarting the Orange attack. Syracuse shot 32-54 (59.3%) from the floor 11-19 (57.9%) from three and out-scored NC State in the paint 36-24.
