Highlights: Syracuse 68 Florida State 67 /

Kamilla Cardoso made a layup off of an offensive rebound to complete Syracuse's comeback victory over Florida State in the ACC Tournament Quarterfinals on Friday. The Orange will take on the top seeded Louisville Cardinals on Saturday at noon.

Syracuse was without Tiana Mangakahia for the second straight game as she nurses an injury. Starting guard Priscilla Williams left in the second quarter as she hit her head hard on the court trying to take a charge. Williams was taken off the court on a stretcher and admitted to a local hospital. Subsequent reports have been positive, however. Williams has acted alert and did not lose feeling or movement in her extremities.

With four players not traveling with the team due to violation of team rules, the shorthanded Orange erased a 14 point deficit early to pick up the stunning win. The final score was the only time Syracuse led throughout the game.

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.
