Alcorn State Archives - The Juice Online

Syracuse got back to their winning ways on Saturday evening, but in a manner that could be very generously described as ugly.

No. 9 Syracuse beat Alcorn State, 57-36, on Saturday night in the final game of the Gotham Classic.

SU had nearly as many turnovers (15) as they did field goals (21), and for the second straight game, free throws were a huge problem.

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim wasn’t happy with his team’s rebounding effort in the Orange’s first loss of the season to Temple last Saturday.
