OMAHA, Neb. — No. 11 seed Syracuse (23-14, 8-10 Atlantic Coast) fell to No. 2 seed Duke (29-7, 13-5) on Friday night, 69-65, to ends its season in the Sweet 16. SU held tight with the Blue Devils, but ultimately fell short of a late comeback. The last team given an at-large bid to the Tournament, Syracuse’s improbable run ended just short of an Elite Eight berth.
Here are the best images from the season-ending loss.
