Comments:

This was the first varsity basketball game every played by the Syracuse Orangemen. RPI had been playing varsity basketball for three seasons, and it showed. RPI led at halftime 13-3.

"The Syracusans were outplayed at every point of the game. They were woefully lacking in their teamwork." [1]
