Jay Bilas Blasts ACC for Buddy Boeheim Suspension

Syracuse men’s basketball star Buddy Boeheim, the son of Hall-of-Fame coach Jim Boeheim, will serve a one-game suspension and will miss Thursday’s game against Duke after punching Florida State’s Wyatt Wilkes during Wednesday’s ACC tournament contest.

ESPN’s Jay Bilas shared his thoughts on the suspension on Wednesday evening, and he was not happy with the decision made by the ACC.

“The suspension of Syracuse’s Buddy Boeheim for what happened in the Florida State game is just wrong,” Bilas said in a video posted on his personal Twitter account.

“The ACC came in after the fact and decided to suspend Buddy Boeheim and it’s disproportionate to the offense.
