Comments:

A Manley Field House record crowd of 9,585 saw the Syracuse Orangemen beat the Jim Valvano coached Iona Gaels 89-76 to win the Carrier Classic. Dale Shackleford would lead all scorers with 30 points. Roosevelt Bouie added 18 points, 10 rebounds and 8 blocks, while playing outstanding defense against Iona's star center Jeff Ruland. The 240 lb Ruland would score 21 points and pull down 15 rebounds before fouling out with three minutes to go.

The turning point of the game was when Jim Boeheim substituted sophomore Danny Schayes 12:25 remaining. The Orangemen were up 59-54, and Schayes would make three shots with Ruland failing to come out and guard him.

Iona had led 27-20 early in the game, and Shackleford was on the bench due to a poor start in the game. Shack re-entered the game, and scored eight points during a Syracuse 17-4 run. Shackleford would be named the MVP of the Carrier Classic tournament. Joining him on the all-tournament team were Syracuse's Bouie, Iona's Ruland and Glenn Vickers, and Western Michigan's Ken Cunningham.

The win was Syracuse's 33rd consecutive win at Manley Field House. [1]
