In this story:

Syracuse basketball fell 83-65 to NC State in the second round of the ACC Tournament. This ended any outside shot the Orange had at making a run to the NCAA Tournament. Next up is a likely spot in the NIT. 

A 21-2 second half run put the game away after Syracuse regained the lead in the early moments after intermission. Syracuse would never seriously threaten in the final 13 minutes. Turnovers were a huge issue for the Orange in this game, committing 19 to just 10 for NC State. The Wolfpack outscored SU 30-9 off of turnovers. 

The game was back and forth in the first half, with NC State going on a little run towards the end of the first half to take a three point lead into the locker room. At one point Syracuse looked like it was ready to take control of the game. A Maliq Brown dunk put the Orange up five, and then Judah Mintz got a steal that looked to be leading to an easy bucket. He passed to Justin Taylor, who took a lot of contact and missed the layup. 

NC State would score seven straight points after that. 

To start the second half, Syracuse scored the first five points to regain the lead. It went back and forth for the next few possessions until the Wolfpack went on its big run to all but put the game away.

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.
