Syracuse did not hold the lead in the final 38 minutes of the game and still had a chance to win in the end, but failed to, in large part because they once again could not make free throws.
Well you have to figure Syracuse is going to recruit him until and unless the NCAA says they’re going to lose scholarships or something of that nature.
But let’s assume that no one on the current team leaves, and Syracuse is unable to land Bryant. Kentucky, always a hot destination for recruits, has been giving Syracuse a run for Bryant recently, anyway. What then?
Freshman point guard Kaleb Joseph came into the season with high expectations. The two young men who played the point before him for Syracuse both left early after just one season of starting for the Orange and both were first round picks in the NBA draft.
Patrick Heckmann’s free throw with 12:29 left in the first half gave Boston College an early 13-8 lead. From there, BC would only score four points the rest of the half, and the Orange took a 35-17 into intermission.
In the race for as many conference victories as possible before the heavy back-end of the schedule features five of the final seven games against teams currently ranked in the Top 10, anything but a win over BC Tuesday would in of itself be enough to keep any Orange fan up at night.
