00:00 And we are underway. Naheem McLeod wins the tip from Ryan Dunn and the orange in their traveling orange uniforms
00:07 Whose high school is less than a mile from here and then Chris Bell and Naheem McLeod
00:12 Who we've seen the big seven foot four inch transfer from Florida State. He gets the lob
00:15 Easy to finish there when nobody's around you
00:19 Same starting five still on the floor for the orange here is Mintz being hounded by Beekman
00:28 On second effort can't get the roll McLeod keeps it alive, but it's McNeely with the rebound
00:34 Now Starling picks up Beekman and gets left in his ducks. What a move by Reese Beekman
00:43 Get it down
00:46 Mintz still looking for his first points and as mentioned going to break four of the five Syracuse starters have scored
00:52 And Dan that's a good sign for Syracuse that Mintz isn't having to do everything
00:57 So far this afternoon
00:59 Virginia's not noted as a transition team, but at the top of your screen they just lose Gertrude. He's all alone
01:09 Here's McNeely the former polka dot
01:12 From polka, West Virginia. Yes, his high school nickname was the polka dots
01:17 Nails the three
01:26 McNeely got the defender in the air find some open ground and nails the three-pointer
01:31 11 points to lead all scores for McNeely
01:36 That's when you know a three-point shooters got it going when he gets has to dribble that ball away
01:40 That can't just catch and shoot but take that side dribble and knock down the three
01:44 Brody with the steal
01:48 And the easy to UVA with its largest lead of the afternoon
01:53 Which has picked up the pace making five of its last eight shots
01:56 Mintz got Beekman in the air hangs in the air and that is what number three does best
02:02 Beekman inside the foul line keeps the dribble puts it up tough shot
02:11 That is a very tough shot I think
02:14 Seven turnovers forced so far today by that Virginia defense
02:22 McNeely the
02:24 38 seconds left in the half bond gives it back to Beekman
02:30 McNeely from near the logo
02:33 Firing from downtown what confidence for the sophomore from
02:40 Ellen Taylor clear through here goes mince right to the bucket and he lays it in with two on the clock
02:47 Well Syracuse does a nice job coming out of that timeout to have something positive to go into the locker room with
02:53 Rose to the high post Beekman makes the quick pass to the corner the job by Bell to cut off done
03:01 So that's always a little bit of a challenge as well you never know how those guys are gonna react
03:08 Here's somebody he has known since
03:12 Starling was a kid and JJ Starling with a good bucket shooting it at better than a 60% clip today
03:18 Beekman missed it done kept it alive
03:22 Still lose Dunn's the one who gets on the floor and so Virginia has it to McNeely
03:28 It kicks it out
03:32 And then McNeely
03:34 It seems like you have missed today. You can and also back into the game at the five position with a basketball for Virginia
03:42 And nearly to step back three
03:44 Game the small line of Virginia's playing to be really effective
03:50 They have to make three well McNeely has had a couple of them
03:53 Deep but not quite as deep as the fan who hit that during a recent timeout
03:57 Bond with his second flush of the game
04:04 On the baseline out of bounds it's one thing to go zone but you can't lose track of it
04:06 JJ Starling has come back on for the orange
04:17 Quadier Copeland makes things happen on both ends for Syracuse. That's really good patience by Syracuse
04:26 Virginia defense was scrambling around and they made him do it so long the defense finally broke down which is rare for Virginia
04:34 They play the shot clock to me Dan on both ends as well as anybody in the country
04:39 That's not a thing today against Syracuse
04:43 Into the act is Blake Buchanan. Well, I'm telling you there's obviously an unprecedented interest in women's basketball
04:50 It's great to see and she's responsible for it as much as anybody
04:54 Malik Brown having himself a nice game the follow-up slam
05:00 That's the first time Syracuse press has produced a basket. They get another steal
05:05 Copeland he'll have a chance for three
05:08 Way to go
05:11 But that's good Gertrude makes a mistake Gertrude Oh
05:16 Minor couldn't finish bond couldn't finish
05:28 a
05:30 Starling off a little head fake a
05:34 Whistle on the shot. That was good
05:38 Get in a foul against, Virginia
05:41 Well, this is the third time this year the who's have gone for more than 80 and they win their ACC opener
05:52 Very very impressive performance. They're gonna be tough to beat when they can make threes at the pace. They made of today
