Boeheim's Army started better than it had in its three previous wins, but fell apart in the decisive third quarter on its way to an 88-71 loss to Herd That in The Basketball Tournament (TBT) quarterfinals. With the loss, Boeheim's Army's 2023 TBT run comes to an end. Herd That, a Marshall alumni team, advances to the semifinals to face Heartfire. 

After leading by three after the first quarter and five at halftime, Herd That got hot in the third quarter. A 19-2 run out of intermission to take the lead for good. In the spurt, Herd That was 3-3 from beyond the arc and 8-9 shooting overall. That turned a five point Boeheim's Army lead into a 12 point deficit from which the Army would never recover. 

In total, Herd That won the third quarter 34-13. The other three quarters combined, Boeheim's Army won by four. Rob Gray led Herd That with 20 points, eight rebounds and two assists. Jon Elmore added 17 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. 

Grant Riller, who had been the star of the tournament through the first three rounds averaging over 25 points per game, scored just 15 on 4-13 shooting. DeAndre Kane also added 15, while Jamil Wilson had 12 and Chris McCullough 10.

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.
