Syracuse 65
Drexel 40
6:13 | 2H

22-4 run for Syracuse in the last 10 minutes. A disastrous half of basketball for Drexel, after being within striking distance at halftime.

And it goes from bad for worse for the Dragons - Shane Blakeney just went down injured and had to be helped off the floor.
Syracuse 56
Drexel 38
10:01 | 2H

Another timeout for Drexel, who have been scoreless for the last 2:19 and are shooting 2-16 from the floor. A disappointing finish for a team that was shooting 50% from the floor at half.

Drexel has struggled tremendously after half, shooting just 2-of-12 from the field and only having six points for the half.

Halftime!

A Naithan George drive at the buzzer puts the Orange up five. If Drexel wants to pull out a second half comeback, they will need to cut down on the turnovers.

Syracuse 31
Drexel 30
2:29 | 1H

Back to back three for Syracuse push them back in front, but the Dragons are in this game. Five early points for Shane Blakeney in what looks like a good one early from the X.

The Dragons take an early lead into the break with a Shane Blakeney turnaround. On the flipside, Drexel committed two turnovers in the first four.
