2016 NCAA Tournament: Syracuse basketball defeats Dayton 70-51 (Brent Axe recap)


Virginia Tech vs. Syracuse Basketball Highlights (2015-16)

"If I had anyone else, he wouldn"t play a minute." That was Jim Boeheim describing Tyler Robersonnearly a month ago. It"s a good thing Boeheim couldn"t go out and sign a free agent, because Roberson made the most of every minute when it counted the most.

"Plugged-in Robie" was present in St.Louis as Roberson dominated the Flyers with 10 points and 18 rebounds. 8 of those 18 boards were on the offensive glass.

"When he plays like that, he can"t be stopped," Syracuse center Dajuan Coleman said after the game. "He had a good couple finishes around the rim, some nice dunks. And he did a good job on defense and rebounding the ball. We need him."

Syracuse does need him, especially on days like Friday when seniors Michael Gbinije and Trevor Cooney have average days at the office.

Timing is everything in life. Perhaps Roberson is sending a signal he"s ready for this to be his team next season by helping Syracuse go as far as it can in this one.
