Syracuse, N.Y. —The only thing missing was Joe Girard hitting the game-winning shot at the buzzer.
Aside from that, things went according to script for Girard’s return to the JMA Dome as Clemson topped Syracuse 77-68 on Saturday afternoon.
Girard led the Tigers with 18 points. He hit 3-pointers from great distance and clutch free throws down the stretch to seal the win. He even got to 2,000 career points on the Dome floor.
“God works in mysterious ways,” Girard said. “I’ve always said. He really came through tonight. It was a lot of fun. To have it here, I’m at a loss for words. I don’t really know what to say. It’s just crazy how it all works out.”
We discussed that and much more on Syracuse basketball postgame presented by Crouse Health, including reacting to opinions and comments from Syracuse Sports Insiders about the loss.
