Indianapolis, Indiana – The West Virginia Mountaineers struggled with Jim Boeheim’s 2-3 zone defense for most of the game, falling to the Syracuse Orange, 75-72.
The Mountaineers were led by a sensational performance from Sean McNeil, who finished with 23 points. Miles McBride had a solid overall performance, scoring 11 points with 6 assist and 4 rebounds, but ultimately, the team dug itself into too big of a hole to recover from.
This is obviously an extremely disappointing end to the Mountaineers’ season, but with most of their players returning, the future is very bright next season in Morgantown.
