Syracuse vs. Pitt Full Game Replay | 2023-24 ACC Men’s Basketball

By 36 points so trying to Rebound in every facet of the game here tonight against the pit Panthers and we are set for the opening tip we underway and the Panthers take [Applause] it hand off here for Carlton Carrington we’ll call him bub for the rest of the

Night he will be referred to as bub or little Bub little Bub kick into the corner the shot on the way and too strong by Austin only makes about 31% pit having a lot of trouble making shots period aren’t they they absolutely are and you hear the booze already as

Judah Minch touches the basketball a little something against Judah here on this floor already with the zoo be a kick here in the opening seconds just getting underway Syracuse was badly outrebounded by North Carolina over the weekend 53-30 and talking with red ay the head

Coach he he felt like they had to get out of the gate quickly they didn’t do that against Carolina they got punched right in the face and he said that they didn’t respond it’s the first time this season that they didn’t really come out with that same level of competitive fire

That they played with all season long a start a good start is important for the oranges here tonight there Bell has been shooting it well gets it off to Mintz Mintz averaging 19 a game got up in the air got it downstairs for the Slam by Malik Brown great recognition by Jud de

As he gets into the painted area seeing three yellow jerseys around him knowing he was going to have Malik ground open under the basket among the starters for the pit Panthers one of the seven-footers g o Diaz Graham his brother Jorge also up around 7even

Ft slamming on the braks here is low The 6-3 Freshman shot Off the Mark by Diaz Graham his first effort tonight and you’ve got a starting freshman back court for the third straight game for the Panthers as ishma leot will come off the bench again after missing the Louisville game with an injury

Bell will swing it Starling a pull up pop and nothing but net and you’ve got the of course sophomore back court for the orange so it’s not as though this is a truly experienced group on either side but the one guy with experience is the guy with the basketball Blake Henson the

Panthers need him to get going through well he’s the top scorer for the pit Panthers one of the top scorers in the conference number four overall at 18 a game also five rebounds and could be deadly Beyond a three-point line getting inside Hinson the 67 senior for his

First bucket and they wait for the first field goal not first points because free throws don’t matter to the zoo they throw the confetti after the first field goal tell you what foul shots May matter a lot in this game they did in the first meeting which Syracuse won 81- 73 and

Pit missed 11 of 24 foul shots and pit did a great job here getting the basketball in the hands of Henson but more importantly allowing Henson to see it go through early and of course the confetti flies from the zoo I’m not sure if you want the zoo throwing confetti

Though that could be uh dangerous to many of the animals yes don’t feed the animals whatever you do especially paper exactly mence thought about the three he’ll take the mid-range he can’t hit it Hinson with the rebound and here comes the pit Panthers talented Jaylen L The 6-3 Freshman on of Missouri City

Texas he’s a coach’s son and that’s going to be a nice tip up and in by Diaz gra on follow and the Panthers lead the ACC with over 13 offensive rebounds per game however they have not had that level of rebounding in conference play Bell yes sir a three-pointer on the M

That’s a mistake a short close out against Chris Bell he can knock down to three ball and he has a little something to say to the uh front row the big money seats over here on his way back down the floor that’s been done before in this

Building between these two schools oh we got a lot of history between these two schools and we’ll show you some of that tonight if you’ve missed it a swing by Carrington all the way to Hinson got it with a triple five early points for Hinson great ball mve but that’s what

Jeff capable talked to his team about they’ve struggled to shoot the basketball in the first half against North Carolina and against Duke in their last two home games a much better start here tonight Blake Henson number two for pit Panthers foul here so this will go

The other way with 1635 to go in the first [Applause] half ball movement and Bell just able to raise up Austin with his hand down and then you see the great ball movement for the Panthers Jaylen low attacking the Baseline finding Carrington Carrington with the extra pass to Henson was able

To knock down to three and we’ve got a 77 game which the number seven of course is always going to be important with this matchup maybe one of the best players to ever put on a Syracuse uniform War the number seven in the NBA H stops that forced it up

There Diaz GR comes up with it Austin down the lane will lay it in took the hit he’ll be at the line for a three-point play offensive rebound once again for the Panthers turns into Second Chance points the second time Diaz Graham is able to come up with the

Offensive board this time he drops the dime to Austin cutting down the paint who was able to finish through the contact an opportunity for the n one 67 Austin slicing in he’ll be at the line where he 77% Jeff cable about to go to the

Bench ishma leet 63 Jr to report in it’s actually their leading rebounder and he’s their smallest guy that they play listed as 62 but he’s not sure he’s that tall when you think about the other guards who are with low Carrington are even taller but Leed is the leading rebounder 5.8 for the

Panthers and that was one of the concerns for Jeff Cap this summer was did they have a dominant rebounder they do not but they’ve done it as a committee one of the reasons why they lead the AC and rebounding but they need that to happen in conference play well

They do have 611 feder Rico feder Rico in the game he just committed his first foul so back to Syracuse heuse mins 19 points per game and batted away tight defense but Syracuse will have it when we come back 1555 to go just under away pit and Syracuse big one for both of

Them tonight year Jerry mamero was there Jerry said coming in here to the Pete always brings back great memories because Syracuse was the first team to win in this building when it opened up it was Syracuse it was Jerry mcnamer and Carmelo Anthony Hakeem war that group

Together was the first team to ever come in here and beat the Panthers in this building and and it was an overtime game der Max said the score was like 49 to 48 he said it was a rock fight a rock fight they they got it done but great memories

In this building between these two schools mince off the window can’t hit it a lot of great finishes here here or at the Dome between the two leg shredding everybody and the reverse what a beautiful shot there ishma leet the junior for two great job by Leed attacking the painted

Area Taylor swishes in a two-pointer confident shot by Justin Taylor had to shot the basketball nearly as well as the shooter that he is a very good shooter but has done everything else for the orange good sign for him to see it go down early throws it

Away OB is that exactly what what uh Jeff C talked to us about how great Malik Brown was knocking the basketball away when they’re trying to feed the center coming up with deflections Brown as well as Judah Min are tied for the lead the ACC at steals per game Starling

Over the shoulder and boy it hung on that iron forever but would not drop and Coach Gable was very very impressed by that shot won’t go for hon another offensive rebound and a whistle and a foul says Ted Valentine 11 to n to Panthers isma legett driving it to the

Rim the nice side around Jud to be able to finish on the reverse layup and on the other end the help allows Justin Taylor to be able to line it up and knock it down another assist for Judah minz and it’s been better shooting on this floor than we’ve

Seen in the past two games for the Panthers and their opponent to start it off indeed Zach Austin gives it up hon off the fake another fake finds the open man fed Rico can’t dunk it P Rico looked back to see where the defender was instead of just going up and dunking

That allowing Justin Taylor to affect his shot tough drive and a tougher shot by Judah minz Judah minz will not be denied he gets down hill as well as anyone in the league leads ACC with 137 free throw attempts so he’s going to stay in attack mode the entire game gets

To the line he can be very creative doing it Carrington can’t hit the mark Judah 33 against LSU had 28 against Cornell so he’s had some big scoring games had 21 rather quietly over the weekend against Carolina yeah everything it was so loud as to what Carolina was

Doing in that building you and I were there it’s hard to notice anything that happened with the or syracus is at every starter score so far loose ball in the Baseline but here copelan comes out of it he had 16 against Carolina here’s Taylor again he thought he got fouled on

The play but no whistle of course he’s going to hear that from the zoo you come into this building you’re always going to have to contend with the Oakland Zoo and they are locked in early car to the swing hson lets fly another a loose ball into the lane PTO Rico

Again the effort to save it there by Malik Brown with 1304 left in the first half red ay year number one as the head coach at Syracuse he started 116 games for Jim beheim and the early 90s was Jim’s assistant and now in year one replacing the only head coach Syracuse had known

For 47 years and red oy told us prior to the game his turnaround in his career came in this building well forgive me not in this building at Pittsburgh didn’t play here at in this building at the time but had a big game at Pitt that really changed

The trajectory of his career during his Junior season a double double 31 points 10 assists for red Kyle cuff coming off the bench spins in two pit getting a little chilly here in keeping with the weather outside temperatures are in the [Applause] teens low to drive it and kick Austin

Swings it like it couldn’t be more open took a dribble and sinks it and leged got himself together didn’t catch it cleanly but had more than enough time as you said couldn’t have been more open had the time to Rhythm dribble and rais up for the three ball he’s off to a nice

Start scoring it the Junior from Maryland it’s a good sign for pit because he was two for 10 the first time these schools met ke outside under 12 minutes to go in the opening half JJ Starling looking to make a move on Leed and threw it away the defense

Locked him up that time and he turned it over it’s celebrated by the bench as tim2 Jason cap Milan Brown the assistant coaches celebrate the defensive stop as this m Leed celebrates the wide openen three at the top of the [Applause] key a strong initiative from Jeff cable the Pittsburgh Basketball family has

Been about fighting ALS of course Jeff capable II was lost to Als in November of 2017 and it’s been a issue for Jeff and one of the guys who has teamed up with Jeff capable on the committee to fight ALS is our own Mark Spears whose father Curtis has been

Battling ALS for Seven Seasons as we said a picture of Mark and his father father Curtis holding his Hall of Fame ring when Mark was inducted into the Hall of Fame and of course Jeff cable and Mark together of course with a number of other people doing the job in

Battling ALS seven years a a long time that’s incredible it absolutely is and you know Mark talked about how Brave his father has been to fight the fight for as long as he has man that was 6′ 6’2 over 270 lb now weighs less than 100 lb he continues the battle a wonderful

Picture there great photo of those two by the way Syracuse picked up a point during the break they made that two by Taylor a three which it should have been and that one swish in by low looked like he had had planned for about 20 seconds yeah he knew where he

Was going exactly with that one and jayen low better have a good one today because his dad Marlon was supposed to leave Houston this morning at 7:20 local time didn’t leave until after 1130 a.m. so a late start for him so made the a big effort to be here for

His son’s game Jaylen better have a good one cuff can hit pit is open up a three-point little six nothing run here and on the line Carrington’s going to turn it over 1714 see jayen low getting into his bag Peter Cary with a tough assignment trying to guard low on the perimeter

Right there that battle was won by The Freshman guard his pops there’s pops Marlin looking along checking it out I’ll tell you what it took most of us a long time to travel yesterday and today the block by Carrington as he stuffed smz here’s Leed beating everyone to the

Other end he’ll draw the foul almost made the shot too draws the foul on Benny Williams yeah you talked about the travel not just you and I being delayed but also the orange Syracuse had a trouble getting in didn’t get in until late as we see Carrington with the block

Shot and then the lead pass out to leet who picks up the foul as the opportunity oh there’s going to be a caller on the floor ccus battling bad weather that’s nothing nothing new but it’s the other guys bad weather that slowed the orange down last night Obi now we see Syracuse

In the zone They had played a lot of Zone throughout this season but went to it in the N game but as one very confident shooter tonight ishma leot the junior just sticking it well he was a proven scorer at Rhode Island before coming to the pit

Panthers he absolutely was and Obi he missed the only win that the Panthers have in ACC play right now which they win at Louisville so you know ish lean wants to get a win under his belt cuff will get that one to go nice feathery touch most of his shots the

Majority are three-pointers he has outstanding range yeah he absolutely does showing that he can provide that shooting stroke and Syracuse often times struggles to be able to get those threes to go from Beyond The Arc so dividing that Diaz graah with a Miss fire talk about getting up there

Carrington going sky W here’s the jumper by low that won’t drop another offensive rebound Jeff getting involved in the mix and takes the hit and the foul against Syracuse two offensive rebounds on that possession alone and Benny Wes is going to pick up his second foul G Diz Grant unable to knock that

One down but look at Bob Carrington going way up high for the first offensive rebound and then Jeffers getting involved for another one as Williams sits with those two fouls early for him seems though he just checked into the game unable to get going it’s five team fouls for

Syracuse with 920 to go in the half low trying to make a move Hinson hson didn’t catch that cleanly that was going up Diaz Graham on the back down couldn’t find anybody finally does off the fake carington too strong another loose ball comes free to the orange Syracuse last year 17 wins

Swished in nice touch there by Starling no NCA tournament for the last two years for the orange tring to change that around under the new coach red ay and this one a very important game on the road in the conference for Syracuse tonight and that’ll go against the pit Panthers

OB I never got a chance to ask you you and I did the game on Saturday and I’ve never asked you what’s it like calling a game with your armor mod Syracuse Orange with no Jim beheim on the sideline was that your first one first time you’ve

Done that yes and it’s very strange and it goes back to when you were a student at new house at Syracuse University you were calling games then that’s right incredibly intimidated by Jim as like a 20-year-old kid but not to see him on that sideline it took all day to figure

Out what am I looking at I can only imagine hon the Panthers as in their previous two games here on this floor against North Carolina and against Duke have gotten a number of good looks from three to start this game started out a little bit cold thus far B up top for Judah

Minz Judah looking for room to operate in the paint and a whistle and a foued exactly 8 minutes left in the half they came on the air talking about both of these teams difficulty shooting the three-point shot it is true but pit has made four out of 10 from three-point

Distance and they cling to a one-point lead as we have a timeout hit on top pennis two seconds he’ll get a shot off on the way got it he hit it he hit the shot Syracuse wins it I know that voice there’s only one guy with the

Pipes to make that call that is the notorious d o that’s my partner Dave O’Brien on the call and that that’s Jim baham look at that and Tyler renis with a magical moment right on this floor hard to believe that was 10 years ago partner it was 10 years ago was the

First year of Syracuse in the ACC they started that season 25 and0 and we talked with of course red archery and Jerry mcnamer we talked them about their most important memories as a coach and they both mentioned that moment Tyler inis with that big shot

Right in front of you here on this floor it’s incredible the memories they have I know I certainly do that’s a tough shot in traffic by Copeland gets it to go Copeland was ACC player of the week after a strong performance a career high performance against Pittsburgh in that

That first win so he’s looking to have success here once again comes up with the steal knocking that free hon got down and dirty for it here’s Austin outside the three shot clock down to six here for pit Henson with the touch a Fall Away

Left that one short he got off to a quick start he has chilled out a little bit and a foul committed right here so he’ll pick it up is first 2120 Syracuse I should mention I was alongside another great partner that night when Andis hit that magical shot

That was Doris Burke and it was a night very much like tonight in Pittsburgh it was wintry incredibly cold it was really snowing that night and we had a game I think the very next day at Villanova which we wind up driving to DB and OB that’s the 18 right there great deal

Of fun I’ll tell you and swished in by Chris Bell on the pullup pop Syracuse extending the lead to three and it’s been a low-scoring affair thus far for both these teams but we were kind of expecting this to be more of a battle coach both these coaches have talked

About how their teams need to be tougher both physically and mentally throughout this game no basket there foul before that on the entry to guo Diaz Graham and they get Starling for the personal with 635 to go in the opening half and pit to inbound from the Baseline pit including that 8173 loss at Syracuse on December 30 now one and four in the conference also beaten by Clemson North Carolina and Duke both head coaches have taken on North Carolina and consider the tar Hills the class of the ACC right now but Duke right in there

Speaking again right in there ref with the basket yeah both Co head coaches have taken on both North Carolina and Duke thus far and it was split they were talking about you know hey what’s the difference between those two teams but right now it’s really been the physical

Toughness and maturity of North Carolina that’s kind of taken them over the top where they may give them an edge as the best team in the ACC but it’s close because of the way Duke can shoot the basketball they have said you know Duke had a Unreal first half here against

Pittsburgh they had an unreal second half against Syracuse you called that game they were eight for eight in the second half from three it was unbelievable oh yeah I mean so they both have seen the strengths and weaknesses of both those teams Jeff C talked to us about how physical and tough North

Carolina was when they came into this building playing defense the Tar Heels and they are deep they’re getting a lot of bench over the top from Malik Brown here’s [Applause] starling off his feet here’s Mintz shot clock down to three and thrown away and a deflection with 550 to go and Syracuse the

Inbound got to get it up two seconds to shoot it copelen sees it fires and hits it he knocks back a three that’s a big b it by Copeland Jeff CER told us Copeland hadn’t hit a three on the season it didn’t seem like he had until he played

Against Pittsburgh and then of course all of a sudden he knocks on a four-point play in that game and his confidence has been Scot High ever since like it’s putting it shoulder down got too far underneath jumper on the way for Carrington no both team’s getting a little bit cold

After pretty quick starts Copeland on the Baseline Jeff really bottling him up he knocked it out so it’ll be Su ball 510 in the half and Kyle cuff back on now for sergus only 3.3 on the shot clock Copeland recognizing it raises up over top of leg

Is able to knock down three ball then let the crowd here know yo that’s good mention that last game it against pit 22 and n look at the 13 of 15 from the free throw line that is ultra aggressive as Judah Miss knocks down the three ball right in front of the Panther’s

Bench and Syracuse now extending the lead to [Applause] seven Copeland five so far tonight on the drive low has that one knocked away and actually lost it was off him last so this ties the largest lead tonight at seven points [Applause] fit advancing the NCAA tournament last

Year last season for the first time and since 2014 got to the second round of the NCAA tournament and that’s part of the reason why the expectations were so high for Jeff capable in this Panther team this season but a lot of experience lost from this team a year

Ago tied up in the corner a reach and they’ve got a foul on the play much younger group for Jeff capable this year as you go back and look at a season from a year ago 24 and 12 a 14 and six record in the

ACC and the 14 ACC wins the most in program history Jeff capable was named the ACC coach of the year because of their exploits a season to go six team foul so both sides with six br will kick it out cup and just a little short got a good

Look pit trying to cut into this deficit on the spin move inside Jeffers will finish that nice cut by Jeffers to be able to get to the basket and finish it off he had a career high 10 rebounds in that game against Syracuse so will Jeffers doing a great

Job of giving Jeff capable minutes off the bench Copeland finds the lane little finger roll no Austin high up for the [Applause] rebound think it’s going to push it no whistle and wind up throwing it away Copeland big fast break and the Slam by Chris

Bell and a timeout with 326 left in the half Syracuse with the big dunk both coaches talked about they need to take care of the basketball cannot allow other teams to get out and transition like this Sean’s point hits it now two for eight from the field now the AP top 10

At the moment Yukon Purdue Kansas North Carolina up to number four Duke up to number seven out of the ACC amazing to me that Kansas didn’t move when you consider the fact they went lost at UCF again think they didn’t move at all but good to see North Carolina in the top

Five but also great to hear Seth greber talking about staying a lot of bgs I can see Seth with hair back in the day dancing to bgs I kind of feel like oh you know he was a BG Saturday Night Live all the way bell bottoms and everything

Carrington slamming on the brakes Hinson wants the launch he stays chilly on tip of the corner it’ll go the other way Syracuse ball here with three minutes left in the half and Q’s trying to build on this lead of 31- 24 Seven offensive rebounds already for the Panthers but they haven’t been able

To convert many of them into Second Chance points quader Copeland very much the star the first goore round for Syracuse against pits now the Panthers using their Zone against the orange got to be able to identify where cuff is especially when you’re guarding Syracuse he’s the one dangerous guy open

Shooter boy did they move it beautifully for Bell and he drills it forgive me one of the two dangerous guys I didn’t see Bell he was blocked out over there on the side on the floor but we know he could be a knock down three-points here 25 against Colgate 20 against LSU 19

Against Cornell he can get it done Kon calling out of play Federico Federico up to set the screen he gets downstairs and the pass just does doesn’t get there it’s going to be off of Syracuse Bell by the way with 10 points he’s hit his last four shots so the Bell

Is tolling here tonight in Pittsburgh PA we’re going to have a shot clock violation because that pass from Bob Carrington to feder Rico actually hit the rim so we get a shot clock reset to 20 as though as an offensive rebound low back Carrington will take the shot too strong comes out

High Jud Min being very cautious with it Syracuse up by 10 on the road carry with a turnaround too strong a big rebound by Jeff yeah absolutely was going up high to get it and jeffris in the game to be able to provide defensive rebounding and some on tackle draw a

Foul he went in with authority his outside stuff is not fall falling so he decided to go to the 10 that’s the way you get going you get to the free throw line when you get to the free throw line you get an opportunity to work on your shooting

Form get your confidence going back in the right direction some big games 27 against Clemson at 29 against West Virginia we have two more great college basketball matchups tomorrow night number eight Kentucky hosting Mississippi State at 7 Eastern from rup Arena and the prime time West Coast game

Has number 12 Arizona hosting USC at 10:00 Eastern 7 Pacific on ESPN Kentucky with a tough loss over the weekend one of the other top 10 teams to lose last week conference pra bring something completely different however when you’re going up against Mard tell you what in that conference the SEC

Kuy’s Conference you better keep an eye on Auburn and it’s shocking to me that it’s taken so long for many people to recognize Bruce Pearl has done a great job at Auburn for the last five seasons so I’m not sure why they were so undervalued to start the year but like

You I think they’re really good they are really deep and really talented got up to number 13 in the pole the whistle stops the clock at 107 so carry will pick up the personal and ay going back to his bench he bring styling back on we seeing Jeff cable play lineup that

Includes the three guards with low legged and Carrington on the floor so sue his two freshman point guards with the veteran transfer and leg it and Jaylen low 79% at the stripe we’ll have another one coming and pit ter terms of field goals has gone about 2 and A2 minutes since they’ve hit

One at the foul line again 36- 26 he makes one and two something to keep an eye on we mentioned the Panthers 11 of 24 from the free throw line and that loss at Syracuse earlier this year in a game that they held an 11-point lead in the

Second half turnovers and Miss free throws did them in inside the final minute before halftime can’t get it in transition Carrington wants the Fire In and Out Boy that was in the cylinder and a whistle Bob Carrington wondering what else can he do just putting his hands on

His forehead but it’s still a confident shot especially for a freshman the youngest player in the ACC getting out on the break pulling up in transition but he will not be deterred you’re talking about a confident young man and again if you have a triple double to

Start off your career the first ever game in college basketball I’d be pretty confident too and you’re setting the bar pretty high uh you absolutely are setting the bar very high only the second freshman the second player in ACC history to ever do it their first ever

Game to go alongside Dennis Scott who did it for the rambling wck of Georgia Tech feder Rico now 17 for 41 at the foul line 10-point lead Syracuse trying to go into that locker room with a head of steam here’s Copeland straight on and he is hit in

The active shooting a three and Jeff cable can only turn away after seeing cop get fouled on another three-pointer he brought up a three where copelen was able to make it and got fouled as a turning point in the game that they played on December 30th and you see Leed out

Contesting gets the hand but also does not allow Copeland to be able to land safely contact after that as well opland 74% at the line another look yeah see it really wasn’t as much of the hand as it was not allowing him to land safely and that’s three they got him three attempts

At the line another one [Applause] coming on near hea the 611 brim protector into the game for circus he missed two of them 37 to 26 Syracuse back in the zone for what most likely will be this final possession for the only two seconds separating the shot clock and the game

Clock carington off to lean leged shot clock winding down and he gives it up mince mince went Airborne maybe had a little more time to do something with that but in the end Syracuse shoots their way to a 37 of 26 half time lead a little bit of conversation between Copeland and leet

Going off the floor but Syracuse with a strong first half here on the road looking for their first absolutely come back if they can get some shots to fall from be on the AR you figure if that’s going to happen they’re going to jump on the back of number two there pit

Panthers Blake Henson just two for n shooting in the first half six points came in averaging 18 and five rebounds he’s got to get going he really does have to get going for the Panthers as does Bob Carrington has to get going as well as him mcram does a great job hedging the

Screen and roll knocks the ball away from Starling both players headed this direction my God Jim barar was was ready to take the charge over here on the sideline it’s good because I found a nice spot under the table there’s Starlet and swishes that one in from three-point distance Syracuse getting going again

From Beyond the three leading 40 to 26 there largest lead tonight and Obie this is a talented Syracuse team it’s a team that is struggling to find this way at times because they’ve got a lot of new pieces and of course a different style playing more manto man than they have in

I would say probably the last 47 years but red archery has a talented group that when they get going and they’re sharing the basketball you see they can be successful Judah men with the ball the 64 sophomore and he’ll be fouled commit the foul here with 1902 to go

Yeah they’re going to get Malik Brown on the offensive foul on that one but on the previous possession you see Judah Mintz with the nice find to Starling who’s wide open is able to knock down the three ball Judah Min sharing the basketball extremely well diming up his [Applause]

Teammates carington trying to make a move they get it back up top for Henson for Carrington a shot will not go seven-footer will tip it and a second effort Austin gives it up and it’s switched in by Henson offensive rebounding is the best time to shoot the three ball the Panthers had eight

Offensive rebounds in the first half that they only turned into four Second Chance points but Henson gets three on there to make it pay [Applause] off Taylor bouncing for minz wants the paint swatted away and a whistle a foul we say in the back of the

Head by Diaz Graham he’ll pick up the personal and Obi I clearly didn’t do enough research before this game to find out what it was that Judah men did to this crowd because they clearly do not like him here every time he touches the basketball there’s

A a chant of Boo from the Oakland Zoo sometimes when he doesn’t even touch it exactly he’s to the line here that by the way three fouls on gu mod Diaz Graham so he’s in trouble here and Mintz at the line 79% gets to the the line a lot and makes that

One so the big guys is going to have to step out and another big guy coming on Federico Federico at 611 replacing the seven-footer when you say he gets to the line a lot more than any other player in the ACC almost plus 40 ahead of Amando Bott

Who’s second in the ACC in free throw attempts D to MZ stays at the line 4229 the orange Austin with the tip and one to the foul two and he’ll be at the line well never do you want to miss a wide open layup however if you’re able to get

The tip in and the opportunity for the and one it’s worth it Austin driving the Baseline the nice skip step to be able to Avid Defenders misses it but the quick second jump allows him to get the contact from Malik Brown the put back the two points and opportunity for three

At the line so Bell stepping out and so is Malik Brown who just picked up his third and Zack Austin to the stripe a 77% foul shooter and one of the three pit bigs well he plays big ranking in the top 15 in the ACC in Block shots yeah Elite

Blocking shots the first person since Shane Bader 20 years ago to have backto back Seasons with 60 three-point field goals made and 60 block shots Starling kns giving the lane car can’t finish it he’s back in the game with three fouls pit trying to cut in that would

Have helped a lot feder Rico keeps it going another offensive rebound look at into way down barely got to the iron on that one but he had time to take a dribble a couple more steps in to be able to shoot that at a more reasonable rank great look for carry dribble down

Nothing [Applause] there here’s Starling only 24% beyond the three Copeland in heavy traffic somehow got it back now flips it up there and catches a lot of iron and down he goes in a fou here against pit and it’s just a small thing but federo feder Rico unable to gather that rebound and

When he doesn’t get the basketball Copeland does does and forces fedo to foul him once again great ball Movement by the oranges Copeland is able to attack the basket can’t get it to go but as the shot goes up you see Federico has the basketball in his hands just unable

To grab it and then compounds the mistake with the [Applause] foul mince looking to penetrate working on Carrington Taylor finds an opening to his right but no they shut him down Carrington in transition Sweeping in he’s denied so Syracuse turns the trick on the other end that was a great defensive

Play by JJ Starling getting back defensively and being able to deny the opportunity from Carrington without fouling you talked about Starling being on the floor three fouls for him and playing through that great job defensively without coming up with a foul on that possession and not putting Carrington at the

Line so pit with already three team fouls forgive me only one foul on Starling thre on [Applause] car Carri getting a lot of minutes here tonight yeah he was a guy that really wasn’t much in the rotation wasn’t that pretty that was very pretty about Copeland attacking the

Basket and there’s something about P here Copeland and hit he’s confident playing against these Panthers starting to pick up the pace here and Carri will commit the foul trying to slow down William jeffris that’s Syracuse on top of pit 44-32 judan coming in 19 points a game

We’re talking about why he gets booed here at the Pete every time he touches it OB you know when you and I do a game it’s interactive we like to involve the fans indeed so I’ve probably got 30 text messages on my phone from the time I

Said I didn’t do enough research to wonder why they are booting booing Judah Min however Judah Min graduated from my high school oakill academy he’s the oak Hiller lump I didn’t remember the fact that Judah was committed to Pittsburgh and then decommitted right before the signing date reopened his

Comm his his Recruitment and signed with Syracuse late that year that is the reason why he is being booed by the zoo shout out to Judas pops C for being the first to text me and let me know although many many others chimed in to remind me well he has nine points

Against pit so far tonight they get trying to get in and another big Stop Syracuse has done a couple of times on the last few possessions well Syracuse defense has been St especially defending the rim when the Panthers have been trying to attack off the bounce good balance for Syracuse Bell

With 10 Mintz with nine Copeland is eight and Starling with seven shot clock at seven Copeland for Taylor shot clock down to two starling’s got to get it up in the air did get to the iron Copeland went for the save and back over to the pit Panthers they need a

Run nice move with the left hand up and in by low Jaylen low The 6-3 Freshman Jeff capable wanting the pressure up a little further to see if they can speed up the orange and get us some [Applause] turnovers Williams handing off for Starling again the shot clock comes into

Play at five on the drive and that one’s going to be swatted out of the sky by Austin Zack Austin 67 we talked about his shot blocking capability to to me attacking the B basket as you mentioned the shot blocking ability of and that’s going to be an offensive

Foul on to the men so that won’t even be a block it’ll be the turnover offensive on mince yes Henson steps in to take the charge red ay down on the Baseline not happy about that call fourth team foul low with a pullup got it to go back to

Back buckets from jayen low now attacking the basket and you see the Panthers with the pressure Syracuse looking for an answer here’s Taylor shot yes sir he drills the triple the second three from Justin Taylor in this game coming talking about the fact that he hadn’t shot the basketball well but it seems

Like everyone from Syracuse has had a little more confidence against these Panthers in the building here tonight low to the paint not this time Williams mishandled it loose ball Syracuse had an opportunity there Cen comes away with it and a tie up possession arrow will take it to the

Opposite end but if you see that picture alone this is getting chippy and the officials now as they start to get after it look to separate players not the first time tonight we’ve seen this no and the and the guys that are involved we saw having a

Conversation at halftime on the way to the locker room ishma leet and qu Copeland these two guys have words for each other after the halftime buzzer sounded and you see both of them in the mix of this scrm right here but we had a overhead look of that of that shot where Copeland

Was the one orange Jersey on the floor in the midst of five different yellow jerseys for the Panthers but Copeland had the basketball and this is what Jeff Capel was talking about they had to be tougher and you see the toughness from this was ker Copeland the toughest guy

On the floor getting after the basketball going after it even though he was amongst four other yellow jerseys yeah that time it was Hinson and copelan exchanging words that was an amazing shot because quader copelan looked like he was about to be consumed by Panthers that never be fun

Could not be a lot of fun but here with 1337 to go the officials going to the monitor I think this is one of the areas where the veteran Ted Valentine really excels calming down teams he does an excellent job with his Crews of trying

To you know take the starch out of it I agree Bill Covington Ramy Stein’s got a great veteran group on here tonight OB in all honesty in this game with these two teams the the way this has been played I would love for them to come away from

This and say it’s just been a warning to all teams nothing extra because even though tempers [Applause] flare it’s going to be difficult to determine oh and we already saw the technical foul Ted Ted Valentin and I believe it’s actually going to be on Benny Williams I believe Benny Williams

Will be the one that gets that technical foul so it won’t be what I wish for but hopefully does it escalate into too many players being penalized because of this and they’re looking on a monitor for anything additional here so this could take a little while

To sort out it’s been pretty chippy and they’ve been going back and forth there’s been some verbal altercations as we mentioned tonight but I mean you go back I mean we talked about this this is a rivalry you’re talking about going way back to the Big East and you see Henson

Standing over top of p copen as Benny Williams pushing Henson from the beginning that gets it inside it then leget actually grabs Williams to get him out of the mix low has something to say as temperatures rise but I I think we’re okay if we walk away with this saying

Hey Benny Williams gets the technical foul right we keep moving on you take your free throws and we just keep playing basketball I don’t think I think the the offense was Cory when Ted Valentine was wrapping up a player that’s when Benny Williams was Hinson Benny Williams

Kind of came in and gave him a shove yes I I I believe that’s where the penalty is I’m just hoping it doesn’t escalate beyond that mhm so we know this Ted Valentine did rule a technical pretty quickly once they started separating players and from

The angle we saw it was in the direction of Benny Williams so most likely that will be the call the question becomes will there be anyone else penalized as Bill Covington will go speak Tedy Valentine will actually call in both coaches to have a conversation and let them know what’s going

On good work by the officials to get to it before it really get out of Hand so we’re hearing definitely a technical fou on the pan toson anduse they’re going to get Williams and Henson and I’m okay with that simply because Henson was the one standing over top of Co [Applause] posession so no shots here because the technicals will off set there was a jump ball and a

Possession arrow remember that possession arrow to Pittsburgh gotcha thank you to Bill Covington T Valentine both coming over communicating with us letting us know and I I’m good with this even though I didn’t want want to see anyone else getting technical fouls Henson was standing over top of Copeland

And so therefore I do believe that those two getting involved the offsetting technical fouls I think is the right call gotcha so pit with a basketball and trailing 47 to 36 hon with a long jumper he’s had a tough night shooting it and they really needed him we’ll see

If he catches fire late but right now it’s going Syracuse’s way on top 47 to 36 hon two for8 from three-point L 3 for2 over over all and if you include this one it’s been six consecutive tough shooting nights for Henson with this game involved after

Coming off a great shooting for the G five games previous where he was smoking hot shot clock to five mince getting a look at it off the fake leans in can’t hit it Pit’s got an opening here trying to cut into this deficit Carrington off for [Applause] Hinson Leed working on

Copeland Hinson again he’ll drive it going in strong no so even the layups but a great job by the orange St vertical not fouling when hon attacked the basket just showing High hand Syracuse time and time again here in the second half getting very deep in that shot

Clock sitting at nine now Starling pulls up sinks it very confident looking shot he is great in the mid-range you see JJ stalling it’s the second time we’ve seen him go off the bouns get to the mid-range and raise up and as you mentioned he is very confident knocking that [Applause]

Down G mod Diaz Graham seven-footer getting ready to report in another one glances away right to leg it he’ll go in strong not there again so right now pit can’t buy one from distance or Inside VZ lost it for a moment Austin with the rejection that comes free to Williams and he will flush it and a timeout Pittsburgh so it’s Syracuse coming out of that scrum and the two technicals that offset with extra fire Yeah Austin comes up with a huge BL

However the Panthers can get the basketball and Benny Williams gets the Highlight in the correct manner especially on the road coming in getting off to a great start but more importantly they have been the aggressor in this game they’ve been the tougher team and that was one of the concerns

From Jeff capable and his inexperienced group he won’t call them young he’ll call them inexperienced to this point because he’s got a lot of new guys playing in this system pit had cut it to eight points and Syracuse on a Mini S nothing run to

Answer Gus will flip it here for low low finds an opening left it short came right back to him for a second chance another offensive rebound we talked about the Panthers average 13 offensive rebounds a game they’re up to 12 right now but they just haven’t been able to

Put them in the second chance points and buob Carrington still without a field goal in this game so another missed opportunity off offensive rebound you’re talking about a guy’s very important scoring wise for pit I know he’s only a freshman but 14 points a game OB he’s the only freshman in the

Country averaging 14 or more points per game five or more rebounds and four and a half plus assists that’s how important he is up in the lane that won’t drop the seven-footer gets his hands on it approaching the 10-minute mark here at the Pete which is pretty darn quiet

At the moment they haven’t given a lot of reason but that’ll go down on the tough move there by low and that’s really been the only success over the last few minutes for the Panthers is low getting into the painted area and making a play he’s in double figures now four

Of eight from the field Williams yes sir that’s a triple Jeff capable said that he was going to look at me when Benny Williams made a three because Benny Williams plays great I glance acoss I see I catch eye contact with Jeff cable Benny Williams has something against the Panthers he plays great

Against them knock down Jumper by jeffris the 67 Jr who started 16 games as a sophomore but missed all of last season to a foot injury Syracuse has had answers all night long here at the peak Starling to the Baseline mince mince headed stripped and draws the foul

Small play by Jud thez not Waiting so 923 to go Syracuse by 14 over pit knock back the pit Panthers eight different men have scored for Syracuse and on their home floor OB the Panthers have struggled to shoot the basketball it’s perplexing to Jeff capable as to why this is has been the

Case but if you think about the North Carolina game the Duke game and now this one against Syracuse they are combined 19 of 76 from Beyond the three-point Arc this is a team that averages 9.6 made three-point field goals a game so they’re at the top of the ACC in number

Of Threes made per game but they just have not been able to get it going on their home floor and their one ACC win they made 12 threes at Louisville so that’s the the the interesting part where je cable just can’t figure out how they’re not shooting the basketball at

Home Elite Brown back on for red ay and Syracuse Min with another one coming and Coach cable talked about he wanted to see his team be more tough offensively in this game looking for shots hitting shots just hasn’t happened yet it has not happened yet and also

They only have eight assists to go along with seven turnovers where Syracuse who averages close to 13 turnovers a game only has six they go on with their 12 assists Jaylen L The Freshman now he’s had a solid night he absolutely has he’s put together a good

Game thus far just hasn’t been able to get much help from the guys in Carrington and Henson that Pittsburgh needs to be scores Williams on Henson that’s a nice looking shot and that makes it 5842 Williams is seven points three for three Henson going in strong count that he’ll be at the

Line and maybe that’s the answer get Henson on the Block allow him to be the post presence for the Panthers when you’ve got both of the Diaz Grand Brothers on the floor both can shoot it from Beyond a three-point Arc which gives Blake Henson the opportunity to be able to

Post and you see Blake Henson four of 15 from the field two of nine from three Jeff cable at his wits end trying to find a way to get his star going who’s the fourth leading score in the AC three-point play for Blake they need a lot more of that over

These last8 and 1/2 minutes from him Min swooping in against the seven-footers both guo and Jorge as mentioned on the floor for the same time for the pit Panthers and a tie up and so Syracuse will have it on a possession arrow these are Jorge’s first minutes in the game was looking forward

To getting a three in transition on that possession but give the Orange Credit for getting out and covering not allowing him to have the open look forcing the [Applause] turnover defense defense defense up Syracuse working around the perimeter shot clock to 10 JJ styling styling with a spin yes sir and

Now Syracuse is just starting to make tough shots JJ Starling going off the bounce we saw Benny Williams do it on an earlier possession and the orange are feeling confident about their offense here in the peak went for the steel it’s knocked out of play by Syracuse so the Panthers will have it

When we come back Benny Williams has 32 points in conference play 22 of them have come against the Panthers he likes playing against pit JJ staring getting in his bag off the bounce the turnaround jumper everything going for the from the field to go along with two rebounds and JJ

Starling has done the job but he’s been one of the many horns that have been successful here tonight Syracuse with three men in low double figures he’s got 11 mence has 11 and Chris Bell 10 but Syracuse spreading around the scoring rebound tipped out of the hands of Jorge Diaz Graham with 725

Left been a lot of games kind of like this between these two School certainly were in the Heyday of the Big East when pit circus went toe-to-toe lows scoring games but very exciting finishes in a lot of them low with a bounce feed that one’s off the side of the

Backboard jge known to be the shooter of the two and going to be a timeout here for Syracuse as mint will get one with 706 to go so we’ll be back in 30 Syracuse on top 60 to 45 it’s your igniter we’ll help get that fixed then your oven issues done open is the video get Yeah man an app to fix my oven yep an app to fix your oven that’s correct introducing front door download today to video chat an expert and coming up next we’ll take you to Gallagher IBA Arena in Stillwater Oklahoma Hunter Dickinson and number three Kansas taking on Oklahoma State

And the Big 12 that is right after this one is finished low racing and laying it up and in J the low’s put together a strong performance here he’s the only offense really for the Panthers here in this second half 14 points for for him coming

Into the game averaging 5.4 was been his starting the lineup for the last three yeah this is a career high for him he needed two or three more tonight let’s see if they have run out of time still six and a half to go on the drive low again and takes the

Foul he’ll be at the stripe well we talked about Marlin low jaylen’s dad showing up for the game today a 4-Hour delay out of Houston trying to get here came directly to the arena from the airport to see his son play and Jaylen has rewarded pops with a

Strong performance right here and now an opportunity with a career high to make it a 10-point game and he’s been the reason why the Panthers have been able to stay within striking this I would say the only reason coach’s son both of his high school and aaou teams and he comports

Himself that way he absolutely does and you’re talking about a high IQ young man especially basketball IQ on the floor you see how much trust Jeff capable has in him as a freshman Min off for Williams there’s a three coming left that short rebounded away Williams came right back and got that

Mal Brown inside to grab the loose ball shot clock down eigh mince tiptoeing through Benny Williams and a whistle that was with 3.9 on the shot clock and that will go against G mod Diaz Graham number four Jeff capable understanding how big of a possession that was was dejected by

The offensive rebound and once again by the foul with 3 seconds on the shot clock but remains positive understanding that his team has put themselves back in position to be able to come back in this game CH resets to 20 mince in close no gets the loose ball he’ll swing here for

Starling and he’ll back it away another offensive rebound the Panthers have now had to be on this end of the floor for over a minute defensively five to shoot for the orange Starling with a pull up pop and hits another [Applause] one pure confidence it absolutely is

Especially in his mid-range you see he picks a spot on the floor he gets there and raises up over top of Defenders and knocks it down with confidence Syracuse is had an answer every step of the way low again can’t hit it so Mintz will take his time and run a

Little more clock with Syracuse up by a dozen on the [Applause] road got it free to copelan a whirling derish no left it short Carrington to push the tempo Carrington fumbles it and a tie up possession errow will keep it right here for pit for 21 to

Go and another big coming on the 611 Federico fed Rico for pit you notice here in a critical stage of the game how rarely we are talking about Blake Henson 18 points a game for pit but not much of a factor at all tonight as well

As Bob Carrington 14 points per game and scoreless tonight oh again with the kick shot on the way and that’ll B Fire by Austin four minutes to go pit getting some looks but can’t cash in two threw it away low here he comes and he hits it and got fouled as well tremendous body command there to make the shot with 343 to go so pit still in it because of him yeah jayen low keeping

The Panthers in it off the turnover turning defense and the offense the steal the finish the foul and we’ve got a 10-point game it can be less when we return not been able to you know benefit off of the offensive rebounding 14 offensive rebounds in this game they’ve

Only turned into 10 second chance points however they have an opportunity now to free throw line for loow to have the 16th point off of eight Syracuse turnovers so that is one area where the Panthers have been able to exploit the orange in this game Al L looking for his 20th point

Tonight previously his high was 12 against Florida G Coast out of Missouri City Texas and connects to give him 20 and they’re inside 10 you’ll see different pressure from the Panthers now after Jeff capable had the chance in the timeout and I’ll take my chances with Benny Williams having to

Handle the basketball first Jaylen love got it across for [Applause] Starling Syracuse has been very patient quite conservative here in the second half with a basketball is quader copelan shot clock down to two Min and he’s foued on the Play What a bailout was 0.9 on the shot clock it’s the second

Time in the game that pit has committed a highly ill advised foul and two the Min with less than four on the shot clock goes and it’s actually William Jeffers jum who gets there and gets a hand on his arm but you see how late it is that’s one you want to make

It difficult for minz to get that shot off at the end of the shot clock he sinks number one he’s 79% at the line back up to 10 and you send one to acc’s best in the free throw line to make it a double digit lead once again we’ve talked multiple times about

How often Judah minz gets to the free throw line and he is five of five on the night thus far as this game goes down the wire he’ll have the ball in his hands we can see him there much [Applause] more Syracuse leading 6453 Judah with 13 also nine rebounds in the game he’s done more than score in this game and give him credit for playing a very good floor game and defensively as wellon that barely got to the iron just has not been his

Night he in the double figures he’s had some rebounds but he needed a much bigger even but often times you see Blake Hinton take those four shots again it’s okay for him to shoot the three but if that one’s not there swing and see if you can get something else he can’t make

It all up at once Min again mod Diaz Graham out to guard him and that one’s going to be thrown away with 237 left Copeland just tapping his chest thing that’s my fault mince drops the dime off Copeland just unable to Coral that one that would have been a

Dunk normally if he gets his hands on the basketball and Judah M of course is all point guards hating turnover so immediately just jumping up and down cringing as he sees that go out of bounds low turnover game though only eight for pit nine for Syracuse to this

Point in the game two and a half minutes to go and on Q here’s one Starling on the attack draws the foul as he’s hit by carington with 227 to go on carington his second and really just unforced but it goes back to Jeff C TOA

Pregame Malik Brown is one of the best of getting his hands on the basketball so good that he is actually tied with his team made Judah men at 2.19 for the lead in the ACC for steals it’s uncanny you know how many deflections he gets yeah and again it’s something that

You know when you see the numbers you’re like okay the guy is great with his anticipation with his hands because he’s leading ACC and steals but Jeff cable made sure to bring it up to us they actually had to run different offense in the first game to keep the basketball

From getting in the five man’s hands because Malik Brown is so good and knocking it away L working on a 20-point game can’t spin that one in one and done back over to the orange 6553 mince will be tied up and he’ll be held by jeffris he commits the personal with 204 to go and that’ll be number one on him so minz back to his favorite spot had a good game individually against North Carolina it didn’t go highly noticed he had 21 points that’s

Because Carolina ran away and hid and won by 36 points on Saturday the largest loss for Syracuse since entering the ACC 10 seasons ago but it’s been a great response from the orange here tonight on the road a MZ finally missing one he’s seven for eight here’s low way downt too

Strong but getting back into a game when you’re down by three not necessarily A Forte of the pit Panthers is it no it really really is not and again when you’re shooting the basketball this poorly from Beyond the three-point Arc now five of 24 from Beyond The Ark third

Straight game where the Panthers have struggled to shoot the three here on their home floor Harington The Talented freshman tough night old forend shooting overall and Syracuse just putting this ball game away styling from the corner and Starling has been big for the orange in this game coming out on the road and

Looking like the orange will get Adrien A’s first ACC Road win of the Season fed Rico fed Rico backing in and on the line will turn it over Syracuse with their biggest lead tonight yeah I guess I shouldn’t say of the season of his career this will be

His first ACC row win of his career and Adrien alry off to a really good start difficult to replace a legend of course but red is doing a great job thus far this year Syracuse most likely moves on to 12 and 5 overall evening out their

ACC record at 3 and three and a big game coming up with the Miami Hurricanes coming to the Dome this Saturday just feels like it comes in a very important spot for Syracuse it absolutely does just that again after that loss at North Carolina and on a short turnaround

Saturday to Tuesday coach arery able to get his team regrouped coming back in with that competitive fire here on the road tonight Kansas and Oklahoma State are coming up from Still Water a whistle here and the points at 39.4 to play so more college basketball coming up here on ESPN

Tonight Syracuse has been putting this game on ice here in the final stages of the second half feder Rico feder Rico 611 Jr from Helsinki Finland will complete a three-point play but not enough of that for the pit Panthers here tonight and this is a game that got to eight

Points in the second half pit got the lead down to eight had some momentum on their side here on their home floor but just unable to make the plays especially on the defensive end to be able to get back and get any closer in this game to

Syracuse to pick up their third win in the ACC and improved to three and three in the conference and 12 and five overall as they come to Pittsburgh which has seen so many battles between these two School the slam dunk by feder Rico to a little too late for Pittsburgh

And Syracuse gets a big win in their season 6958 will be the final score and a win for red ay on the road his first quad one win this season strong response from the orange after a

The Orange bounced back from a rough game over the weekend, winning on the road against Pitt, 69-58. Syracuse lit it up from three-point range, making 10 three-pointers on 58.8% shooting from beyond the arc. JJ Starling led the Orange in scoring with 17 points on 7-11 shooting. Judah Mintz had 14 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and two steals. Chris Bell added 10 points. Jaland Lowe led Pitt with 20 points, three rebounds, and three assists. Blake Hinson added 12 points.
