The game was marked by intense competition from start to finish, with both teams displaying strong defensive and offensive efforts. The Syracuse Orange put up a resilient fight throughout the match, leading in blocks with nine compared to just two from their opponents. Despite this defensive effort, it wasn't enough to hold back the Red Storm.
