DAYTON, Ohio – Freshman Oshae Brissett recorded his 13th double-double of the season with 23 points and 12 rebounds to lead Syracuse (21-13) to a 60-56 victory over Arizona State (20-12) Wednesday night in the NCAA First Four. The Orange overcame a seven-point deficit with 7:05 to play.
Syracuse will travel to Detroit, Mich. on Friday, Mar. 16 to take on sixth-seeded TCU at 9:40 p.m. on CBS.
Sophomore Tyus Battle scored 15 points and junior Frank Howard added 12. Junior Paschal Chukwu totaled five points and nine rebounds.
How it was Decided
Battle drained a 3-pointer with 1:51 to go that gave Syracuse a 55-52 lead. Arizona State cut the Orange advantage down to one with 15 seconds to play, but Chukwu hit a free throw and Howard hit two more to seal the victory.
Game Summary
Howard scored eight straight points for Syracuse to help it jump out to a 10-7 lead. Later in the half a 3-pointer from Battle gave the Orange a five-point advantage. Arizona State answered with a 7-1 run later in the half to pull ahead 23-22.
Marek Dolezaj made a jumper and Brissett added two free throws to help Syracuse retake the lead. The Sun Devils tied the game at 28 and a late jumper from Dolezaj sent the Orange into halftime up 30-28.
Arizona State opened up the second half with an 8-0 run and took a six-point lead. Brissett scored four points to power a 7-2 run that pulled Syracuse back within one. The Sun Devils increased their lead back to five. A Brissett 3-pointer trimmed the Orange deficit down to two, but the Arizona State scored five-straight to take a 49-42 lead with 7:05 to go.
Howard made a jumper, Brissett made a free throw, Chukwu dunked and Brissett converted a 3-point play to fuel an 8-0 run to give the Orange its first lead of the half.
