Saturday afternoon, #3 Syracuse was tripped up for the first time on the season, dropping an 83-79 decision to Temple in the Gotham Classic at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
20 minutes to win 901 for Jim Boeheim, and an 11-0 start or this year’s consensus Top 5 team. The only problem was a well-coached Temple team spoiled the fun for the majority on hand.
