Syracuse’s Buddy Boeheim is having himself quite a March.
Last week, in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, he scored 27 points against North Carolina State on March 10. The next day, when Syracuse played Virginia, he put up 31, a career-high.
Buddy Boeheim passed his dad on the NCCA scoring list for Syracuse Players, hitting 50% from the floor while his dad’s record was 33%.
He nearly upended his personal best just eight days later: On Friday night, when the 11th-seeded Orange faced No. 6 San Diego State, he scored 30, including seven 3-pointers.
