Time and time again, the No. 1 Syracuse Orange find a way to extend their undefeated season. Last night, they went into an absolute battle with ACC rivals No. 25 Pittsburgh and came out on top 58-56. The meeting came down to the wire, as Syracuse's Tyler Ennis hit a phenomenal 35-foot buzzer-beater to clench the win. Ennis, who's recently been wearing the Nike KD VI, took it back a model with the KD V for last night's game winner.
In NBA action, third-time All-Star Kevin Love fueled Minnesota to a huge 117-90 win over Denver with 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists. James Harden was a force to be reckoned with as he dropped 35 points and a last-second bucket in Houston's win over Washington. Although the Bobcats lost to the Brooklyn Nets, Kemba Walker made his return to action in a Under Armour PE that you'll want to add to your "must cop" list.
All this plus more NCAA men's hoops and NBA coverage after the jump.
