Watch Tyler Ennis keep Syracuse unbeaten with long, game-winning shot
Undefeated Syracuse went into Pittsburgh on Wednesday night ranked No. 1 and unbeaten, but many believed they would lose. Tyler Ennis had other ideas.
Ennis made a running 35-footer as time expired to give the Orange a 58-56 victory to improve to 24-0 this season. You can watch the shot in the video above.
“I knew I didn’t have that much time,’’ Ennis said. “I just got it and tried to get down as fast as possible. That was the first open look I got. I knew I had to take it. I was watching the clock the whole way down the court. I knew I had at least a second left.”
Pittsburgh (20-5) had beaten the last nine top-five opponents they faced at home heading into the game.
