Syracuse Blown Out at Clemson
For the second straight game, Syracuse basketball was run out of the building as Clemson dominated the Orange from start to finish for an 91-73 victory just days after Duke beat SU by 22. With the loss, Syracuse dropped to 16-12 (9-8) on the season. Next up is another tough road game at Pittsburgh on Saturday.
This game was really never close. Clemson's first offensive possession was indicative of how the game would play out. The Tigers got four wide open three pointers, missed the first three but got offensive rebounds on each, and drilled the fourth. Clemson would be hot from the outside the rest of the game. Clemson jumped out to a 13-3 lead in the first few minutes and it was seemingly over from there.
Syracuse would battle back to trim the lead to five, but Clemson would push it to as many as 17 in the first half and lead by 13 at halftime. The Orange never got closer than 11 in the second.
Judah Mintz was the lone bright spot for Syracuse, but he received almost no help. He led the team with 23 points including four made three-pointers. Clemson dominated on both ends of the floor and on the boards. When Syracuse tried to press, the Tigers broke it easily. Hunter Tyson torched Syracuse with 29 points and 10 rebounds including six made threes.
