Next time I’m in the gym it’s the real thing!

FINAL: Syracuse 71, Niagara 58 https://t.co/Mw4h6qC5Xi

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Ryan Moesch continues to be the most eventful basketball player.

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

And-1 Cole Farrell

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Tae Blackshear BANG. Niagara within 5. 60-55 with 3:53 to play.

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Ryan Moesch responds with two quick buckets. Much-needed for Syracuse. Back ahead by 8

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Syracuse not playing good ball at all. Moesch and Anthony with horrible turnovers.

Sadiq White hasn’t played since beginning of 2H when he picked up his second foul.

Niagara taking advantage of mistakes and clawing back into it. Rieber with a runner off the glass and it’s 52-48

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Daniel Emokhare checks in the game for the first time for NU in the middle of the second half. You can see his athleticism immediately. He wants to dunk that ball.

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Niagara has really settled in well and now won’t go away.

Within 9 at the U12. 50-41

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Floater. 7 seconds. U12 @DalyDoseOfHoops @sportsmatters

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Third foul on Sadiq White and he didn't like the call. Goodrick back in

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

HALFTIME: Syracuse 33, Niagara 26

Fidel Rotta connects on a three from the top of the key in the final ten seconds.

SU led by as many as 17, but great fight from Niagara to settle into the game.

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Niagara scores 14 points in 4 minutes.

Syracuse 29, Niagara 18. 4:16 1H

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Greg Paulus wants Ruey Ruey to run the floor off of rebounds. “Give it up and run, do what we practiced”

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

And Fidel Rotta backs Siby down for a layup.

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Niagara might need more from Ruey Ruey to unlock this game. Freshman is on the board with a nice layup.

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Purple Eagles having all sorts of issues with angles and speed against Syracuse’s defense.

Orange are smothering and forcing shots that aren’t even coming close.

Syracuse 20, Niagara 4. 8:34 1H. Timeout Greg Paulus

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

#killshot for Syracuse to start the game

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

Brian Angeletti, Cole Farrell, and Trenton Walters in the game for Niagara. Moesch, Siby, Monroe, Anthony in for Syracuse

[Sam Federman @Sam_Federman]

A few loud defensive plays by Garwey Dual in that first segment.

Syracuse 8, Niagara 0. Miccoli parsing the defense fine in the PnR, but Syracuse D too athletic at the moment
