Syracuse crushed by Oregon, swept at The Garden (full coverage)

Published:

The Syracuse Orange fell in love with the 3-point shot, but the trey did not love the Orange back in an 80-65 loss to the 13th-ranked Oregon Ducks here at Madison Square Garden on Friday.

Although not a good shooting team, Syracuse inexplicably took shot after shot from the 3-point line in Friday’s game. Oregon, which spent most of the game in a 2-3 zone, seemed to invite the Syracuse players to take their chances from 3-point range. The Orange finished the game 5 for 28 from beyond the arc.

The 28 3-pointers were more than Syracuse attempted in any game last season.

The loss completed a disappointing 0-2 trip to New York City for Syracuse, which lost to Connecticut on Thursday night. The Orange, ranked No. 15 in this week’s AP poll, figures to fall out of the rankings next Monday. Read more at Syracuse.com | Box Score

THURSDAY NIGHT: UCONN 83, SYRACUSE 76

The Syracuse-Connecticut rivalry never disappoints.

Syracuse and UConn, the two former Big East foes now playing in two different conferences, reunited in their old stomping grounds of Madison Square Garden and once again brought back memories of past battles.

The two fan bases filled the Garden and the two teams filled the arena with intensity.

Syracuse trailed by as many as 13 points, but Tyus Battle’s 3-pointer trimmed the margin to 4 with just under four minutes remaining.

However, the Orange’s comeback came up short when UConn’s Alterique Gilbert and Jalen Adams knocked down back-to-back 3s to pave the way to an 83-76 win here on Thursday night.

No. 13 Oregon, No. 15 Syracuse meet in unusual situation
When the 2K Empire bracket was released, it was widely expected that No. 13 Oregon and No. 15 Syracuse were going to face off in the championship game. Come Friday, the nationally ranked teams will play each other, but not in the championship. Instead, the Ducks and Orange will tipoff in the consolation game at 4:30 p.m. ET after both being upset Thursday evening. Read More
