Alan Griffin Highlights vs NC State /

Syracuse forward Alan Griffin did a little bit of everything in the Orange's 76-73 comeback win over NC State. He finished with 19 points, was 3-7 from beyond the arc, made all four of his free throws including two critical ones in the final seconds, grabbed six rebounds, dished out two assists, had four steals and blocked three shots. You can check out highlights of his performance in the video at the top of the page.

In a game Syracuse absolutely had to have, Griffin made some big plays. He was not without mistakes in this one, but he was their most consistent offensive player and made some contributions defensively as well. His rotations in the second half were better, but he proved to be someone NC State struggled to guard either one on one or off the ball.

With the win, Syracuse improved to 10-5 (4-4). They next face 25th ranked Louisville on Wednesday. The Orange will enter that game having won three of their last four, including a win over a ranked Virginia Tech team.

EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market.
