It's over at the Dome. An ugly Quad 3 loss for Syracuse, falling to FSU 85-69. Judah Mintz with 28 points but SU was horrid at the 3-point line and a poor #FreeThrowsMatter performance gave FSU the opening to run SU out of the gym in the 2nd half. https://t.co/lnjHJ81UmD
FSU 76, SU 62. Seminoles have dropped the hammer here and are 3:23 away from a victory and it's one that will really sting for Syracuse as a Quad 3 loss.
14 turnovers now for Syracuse. Step slow on defense. No offensive flow (Mintz has been the offense). Yet they only trail FSU 65-60 with 7:20 remaining. Kind of feels like they are playing with fire at this point. FSU clearly has better legs.
Turnovers are really hurting Syracuse. The Orange has 14 turnovers; FSU just 7. FSU leads 65-60 with 7:20 left.
There's been too many defensive breakdowns by Syracuse in this one. Yeah, it's only a 1-point game, but both things can be true. SU 54, FSU 53. 11:13 to go.
Half: Syracuse 36, FSU 35. The teams combined for 23 fouls in the half. SU went 11-for-19 from the line. FSU made 4-of-8. Woof!
Syracuse and FSU are tied at 26. SU erased FSU's 7-point lead. Orange now 7-for-12 on FTs. Kyle Cuffe has given Orange some good minutes, but he just picked up his 2nd foul. 3:39 left in the half.
Syracuse is missing jump shots and FSU is capitalizing in transition.
Syracuse is playing some zone. And just got a turnover.
Reserve Quadir Copeland scored 11 points, and his 3-pointer from the left wing as time expired lifted Syracuse to a 72-69 win over the Miami Hurricanes. https://t.co/9UlIhvp06X

Halftime at the JMA Dome. Miami 31, Syracuse 30. The 'Canes lived in the paint (24-8 edge), SU hits 6 3's to keep it in range. JJ Starling leads SU with 9 points. Stats below. Smoke if you got 'em. https://t.co/zRjyDDtEoQ

Miami leads Syracuse 29-21 with 4:29 remaining in the first half and the 'Canes are living in the paint, where they have out-scored the Orange 22-8.
With a 9-0 run, Miami takes a 29-21 lead and SU calls timeout with 4:29 left in the half. Syracuse just can't stay in front of Miami when the Hurricanes look to drive.
Miami is 0-6 on 3s, but 9-for-11 on 2s. Syracuse has to stop the ball on these drives. It's tied at 18-all with 7:51 left.
Syracuse snaps out of a slow start to close Miami's lead down to 12-10. Still not shooting that great (4-14) but had to get it going there.
