Comments:

Syracuse faced UNC-Charlotte in the Mideast Regional Semifinals. The Orangemen were not a good perimeter shooting team, and Charlotte played zone, daring Syracuse to shoot. Syracuse's only Roosevelt Bouie versus Charlotte 1977legitimate perimeter shooter Larry Kelley had a cold night going 0 for 7, and Charlotte would run away with the game.

Syracuse trailed by sixteen at the half. They were able to cut the lead to 13 points before the 49ers went on an eight point running, effectively putting the game out of reach.

Syracuse's Marty Byrnes was perfect from the floor making all seven of his field goals.
