SUrvive and Advance: Syracuse squeaks by Florida State in ACC Tournament Mar 12, 2025

Show notes

Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 66-62 win over FSU in the ACC Tournament.

It was a "survive and advance " type game for SU who won despite shooting just 2-of-14 from 3-point range, 12-22 from the free throw line and letting a 16-point lead wilt down late in the game.

Again.

JJ Starling had 27 points for the Orange, 19 of which came in the second half.
