Both teams took exactly 52 shots. [/I] [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2014/11/syracuse_basketball_box_score_vs_loyola.html'][I]• Box score[/I][/URL] [I] Syracuse made 27 of their 52. Loyola made … 10. Out of 52. That's 19% in a Division I college basketball game. Stop the ride, I want to get off. While the Greyhounds may want to look into offering the guy who made two free throws from a recliner during a promotional timeout a scholarship, there are some things from the Syracuse side that raise an eyebrow as well. ...[/I] [B][URL='http://5bleacherreport.com/articles/2280577-syracuse-basketball-what-orange-must-do-to-be-ready-for-michigan-showdown']What Syracuse Must Do to Ready Itself for the Showdown with the Wolverines in Ann Arbor (BR; Tansey)[/URL][/B] [I]The last time we saw the Syracuse Orange on the national stage, they fell to Cal by 14 points at the 2K Classic in New York. On December 2, the Orange will light up the marquee once again when they visit Ann Arbor to face No. 19 Michigan in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. Since the humbling loss to the Golden Bears at Madison Square Garden, Syracuse has pulled off two solid wins over Iowa and Loyola (MD). To be fair, neither of these teams are comparable to the talent on the rosters of Cal and Michigan. But it is nice to see Jim Boeheim's side respond well to an early defeat. ...

The Wildcats had room to embrace all 6-foot-7 of him, and still have plenty of hands free to hoist a trophy. Pinkston had the go-ahead basket and game-saving block in the final minute to lift the 12th-ranked Wildcats over No. 19 Michigan 60-55 in the Legends Classic championship game Tuesday night. Pinkston put the Wildcats (5-0) up 56-55 with a spin for separation and a one-handed shot with 13.4 seconds left. He then had a clean stuff on [URL='http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/66186/zak-irvin']Zak Irvin[/URL]'s dunk attempt off an inbounds pass with 5 seconds left. [URL='http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/61757/ryan-arcidiacono']Ryan Arcidiacono[/URL] sealed the win with four free throws.
