This game happened on February 12th, 2014. It was an exciting game because Syracuse came in thinking they were going to destroy Pittsburgh. Syracuse was undefeated before playing them. At the end, Pittsburgh had a 54-48 lead with 2 minutes left in the game. The Syracuse team was getting very nervous with this score. C.J. Fair on the Syracuse team made a 3 pointer, then hit a jumper immediately, making the score 54-53 with 51 seconds left until the final buzzer. Then Tyler Ennis hit two free throws making the score 54-55 with Syracuse in the lead then. Pittsburgh ended up scoring another two points with 10 seconds left putting Pittsburgh in the lead with 56-55. Out of no where with 4.4 seconds left, Tyler Ennis threw the ball at the hoop 35 feet away and got them 3 points with the sound of the buzzer going off as the ball passed through the hoop. Syracuse stayed undefeated all because of Tyler Ennis with a final score of 58-56. Pittsburgh was ranked #25 and Syracuse was ranked #1. This game was exhilarating to watch on television. My father and I were hoping that Pittsburgh wold win. We like when the underdog wins. Now Syracuse has a total of 26-3, so they are no longer undefeated but they are still ranked very high.
