The game was over fairly early as the Orange went on an 11-2 run midway through the first half to go up 24-10 with 7:29 left. Syracuse would lead by dougle digits for the rest of the game, helped partially by Bucknell’s ice cold shooting.
The senior hit all six of his shots in the second half to finish with 16 points, helping the Orange to handily win its first true road game of the season, 88-72.
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim was shocked when he was told that his team had gone on a 23-0 run in the first half of SU’s 88-72 win over North Carolina State on Saturday night.
