Buddy Boeheim Highlights vs NC State

Buddy Boeheim seems to love Greensboro, as does Syracuse. The Orange has now won two straight in the ACC Tournament by a combined 49 points. That after Syracuse beat NC State 89-68 on Wednesday. Last year Syracuse beat North Carolina by 28 last year before the remainder of the tournament was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Buddy scored 17 points in the win last year, but eclipsed that with 27 against the Wolfpack. The 27 points was just two shy of his career high 29, which he set earlier this season in the Orange's comeback win over Notre dame. Boeheim was 10-16 shooting including 6-12 from beyond the arc. He also dished out five assists and grabbed two rebounds. 

Earlier this season, Buddy was struggling to make shots. His three point percentage dipped down to 27%, well below his capabilities. After his performance against NC State, he is up to 36% on the season. Over his last nine games, Buddy is shooting 44.4% from the outside. He leads Syracuse in scoring at over 16 points per game. 

Next up for Syracuse is Virginia, who won the ACC regular season title. The Cavs played Syracuse earlier this season in Charlottesville. Boeheim scored just nine points in 34 minutes in that game as Syracuse lost by 23. Buddy was just 4-12 shooting in that one, including 1-7 from beyond the arc. Syracuse is hoping for a better performance this time around in order to get a win that would solidify its NCAA standing.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
