SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Brown men's basketball team fell to Syracuse 93-62 Monday night at the Carrier Dome. A big second half lifted the Orange to victory after the Bears trailed by just six at halftime.
Kino Lilly Jr. led all Bears with 13 points on a 5-for-12 night from the field. Tamenang Choh had nine points and a team-high seven rebounds and Dan Friday chipped in eight points and a team-best five assists.
The story of the game was Syracuse's sharp shooting from three. The Orange shot 61.9% (13-for-21) from deep on the night.
The Orange started out hot, going 5-for-6 from three in the opening five minutes of the game to open up a 16-4 lead. Syracuse would twice push its lead to 14 during the first half, the second time at the 10:57 mark, but Brown would fight to get back in it.
The Bears went on a 12-6 run over the final six minutes of the opening half, led by four points by Nana Owusu-Anane and threes from Lilly and Perry Cowan. At the break, Brown had climbed back within six at 38-32.
Syracuse came out even hotter than they did in the first to start the second half. The Orange were 9-for-12 from the field during a 23-6 run that spanned the first six and a half minutes of the second. They would lead 61-38 at the 13:31 mark.
Despite 10 points from Lilly down the stretch, the Orange offense was just too much. Syracuse would add 25 points over the final 10 minutes to claim the 93-62 victory.
The Bears return to action this Thursday, Dec. 30 at Maryland for a 7 p.m. tip.
