Syracuse, which has lost two of its last three games, will try for its first signature win of the season when it plays Duke in the Konica Minolta Big City Classic on Sunday.
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim had high praise for Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski following SU’s 98-74 win over Albany to the semifinals of the Dicks Sporting Goods NIT Season Tip-Off.
A reporter asked a question about top ranked Duke losing freshman Kyrie Irving to a right foot injury. “That has nothing to do with what we’re doing here, but I’ll give you an answer,” Boeheim said.
