Pittsburgh

Cameron Johnson was thorn in SU’s side, burying a half dozen three-point shots for the bulk of his game-high 22 points.

A quick take on Syracuse’s disappointing 80-75 loss against Pittsburgh Saturday afternoon, at Petersen Events Center on the Pitt campus:

Boeheim and Gillon both mentioned that knowing you won’t get taken out of the game for a mistake makes players more confident.

For the third straight outing, Andrew White III paced the Orange, this time collecting 21 points, including hitting four triples.

Tyler Roberson, once shuttered away in Boeheim’s doghouse in non-conference play, has emerged as a force in the last two games.
