The JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse was filled with an electric atmosphere as 15,668 fans witnessed the home team's dominance from tip-off to final buzzer. The Syracuse Orange set the tone early on and maintained control throughout both halves, scoring 39 points in the first and adding another 37 in the second.

The offensive effort by Syracuse was led by their remarkable shooting accuracy; they hit an impressive 53 percent from field goal range and were successful on nearly 43 percent of their three-point attempts. Their prowess inside was evident as they racked up a total of 44 points in the paint. Additionally, their free throw performance stood at about 55 percent for the game.

Defensively, Syracuse also excelled with nine steals and three blocks contributing to their robust defensive presence. They capitalized on turnovers effectively, scoring 18 points off turnovers caused by relentless pressure that forced a total of eighteen miscues by Northeastern.

On top of that, rebounding played a crucial role in securing this win for Syracuse as they outrebounded Northeastern with a total count of forty rebounds—twenty-eight defensive and nine offensive rebounds—compared to thirty-eight by their opponents.

Northeastern struggled to find their rhythm against Syracuse's defense. They managed only twenty-five points in the first half followed by twenty-three in the second half due largely to shooting woes; hitting just under thirty-three percent from field goals overall and twenty-five percent from beyond the arc. Free throw struggles also plagued them as they made only two out of thirteen attempts which rounds up to about fifteen percent success rate at the line.

Despite these challenges, Northeastern did show some resilience through distributing sixteen assists and grabbing seven steals but ultimately could not overcome Syracuse's commanding performance on both ends of court.
