For the second time this season, Syracuse gave up an 18-point lead to Miami, this time dropping a 75-72 game at home.

Miami outscored Syracuse 10-0 over the final 1:07 of the game to shockingly send SU to its first losing regular season under Jim Boeheim.

Late Thursday afternoon news broke that freshman forward Benny Williams suffered a lower body injury in Monday night’s game at North Carolina.

Boeheim, 77, said he would be returning for a 47th season as Syracuse’s head coach on the show, repeating what he said on Saturday.

Bourama Sidibe once again was a source of valuable minutes, adding eight points and three rebounds in 25 minutes of play.

Cole Swider went off for 36 points, but it was not enough, as North Carolina pulled out an 88-79 home win over Syracuse.

Reminiscent of Syracuse’s loss against Wake Forest on Jan. 8, the Orange couldn’t inbound the ball at a critical moment.

The Tar Heels come in into Monday’s matchup with the Orange with a home court advantage, having only lost two games at home this season.

The Blue Devils scored the first 14 points of the night, and led by over 20 points just over eight minutes into the game.

It was pure Duke domination over Syracuse Saturday night in the Dome.
