Syracuse will have its fate revealed on Selection Sunday. Will it sneak into the tournament like it did last year? Or will a trip to the NIT be on the horizon?
Andrew White III led SU with 22 points for the second straight game, this time adding a season-high ten rebounds for his first double-double in orange and the fourth of his collegiate career.
Miami went on a 12-0 run late in the second half as Syracuse opened conference play with its second straight loss, losing to the Hurricanes, 64-51, on Saturday on the road.
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.
