The Battle of the Boeheims became more than just an easy Syracuse win over Cornell on Wednesday.
In the annual Boeheim family feud between Syracuse and Cornell at the Carrier Dome, Jimmy Boeheim had the Big Red on the verge of an upset more than halfway through the second half of Wednesday’s game.
Jimmy Boeheim, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim’s oldest son, scored 25 points only to see Cornell’s upset bid come up just short as Syracuse pulled away late for a 72-53 victory.
