Buddy Boeheim Named to All ACC Tournament First Team /

Syracuse shooting guard Buddy Boeheim was named to the All ACC Tournament Team. He averaged 29 points per game in two ACC Tournament games while shooting 60.6% from the floor overall and 55% from three point range. He also averaged four assists and two rebounds per game. Buddy was spectacular in those two games as he led the Orange to a blowout win of NC State in the second round and a near upset of top seeded Virginia in the quarterfinals.

Buddy struggled early in the season, and his three point percentage was as low as 27% at one point. Boeheim heated up over the last 11 games and raised his percentage to over 37% on the season. During those 11 games, Buddy shot 46% from beyond the arc.

For the season, Buddy led Syracuse in scoring at over 17 per game. He set career highs in scoring, field goal percentage, three point percentage, free throw percentage, rebounds, assists and steals. He is hoping his season is not over as Syracuse is now awaiting its NCAA Tournament fate. The Selection Show is on Sunday and will be aired on CBS at 6:00 p.m. Eastern.

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.
