Quick recap of Syracuse’s 83-71 win over Niagara: https://t.co/42i51MHk7f
SU hasn't looked great in its half-court offense, but Orange has 11 points off turnovers and 6 2nd-chance points. Niagara has none of each. A 17-point difference in a 57-43 game.
Syracuse comes out of that timeout and scores 7 straight to take a 47-33 lead. Mintz scored on a drive, Bell hit a 3 and then Mintz fired a long pass to Bell on the break. Much more energy in that segment.
Syracuse 38, Niagara 28. There have been some rough moments of not so great mid-range jump shot misses and some more inspired play by the Orange. And Bumbalough has 17 first-half points.
Half: Syracuse 38, Niagara 28. Syracuse's subs were the key to the half. They scored 24 points. Luke Bumbalough has 17 for Niagara. Might want to guard him in the 2nd half.
Syracuse playing like its already on break. Niagara takes a 10-9 lead. SU is forcing one-on-one shots; giving up breaks.
