Gallery: No. 11 seed Syracuse eliminated in the ACC Tournament with 78-59 loss against No. 6 seed North Carolina

NEW YORK — Syracuse could not come back late in the game like it nearly did two weeks ago against the same opponent, falling 78-59 to North Carolina on Wednesday night in Brooklyn. The Orange (20-13, 8-10 Atlantic Coast) fell to sixth-seeded UNC (23-9, 11-7) at the Barclays Center in the second round of the ACC Tournament.

The loss means SU likely will not play in the NCAA Tournament for the third time in four years. That has never happened during Jim Boeheim’s 42-year tenure as head coach.

Here are the best images from the game.
