Syracuse Orange

Syracuse guard Buddy Boeheim hit the 30 point mark against Miami on Senior Night Saturday in the Carrier Dome, and therefore is the Atlantic Coast Conference's 2021-22 regular season scoring champion. He surpassed Alondes Williams of Wake Forest, who he trailed by 29 points coming into the regular season finale.

This was the final regular season game of Buddy Boeheim's Syracuse career, despite having one more year of eligibility remaining. He has stated numerous times during the season he will turn pro after the season is over. He participated in the senior day ceremony prior to the game.

Buddy had hit the 30 point mark once previously this season, ironically against Williams and Wake Forest in the Orange's 22 point win. Buddy scored 30 or more twice last season as well, once against Virginia in the ACC Tournament and the other against San Diego State in the NCAA Tournament.

The younger Boeheim brother has been the focal point of defensive game plans all season. That has led to a dip in shooting percentage as he made just 40.6% of his shots and 33.3% of his three pointers this season to date as the degree of difficulty for his attempts increased exponentially. Buddy has also set a career high in assists, rebounds, steals and free throw shooting this season.

Next up for Syracuse is the ACC Tournament. The Orange is locked into the 8/9 matchup with Florida State.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. 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. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
