Brent Axe chats live following Syracuse basketball's 88-85 win over Notre Dame at the JMA Dome on Saturday afternoon. The Orange had to survive a furious second-half rally from the Irish to hold on for the win. Notre Dame out-scored SU in the 2nd half 56-39 after SU led 49-29 at halftime. Brent discusses what led to the defensive breakdown and how the Orange were able to build up a big enough lead in the first half by cashing in 31 points off turnovers.

It was Jim Boeheim Day at the Dome with several former players in attendance, video tributes played throughout the day, a Boeheim banner raised to the rafters and a speech by Boeheim to the Dome crowd after the game.

Brent also listens in to postgame sound from Coach Autry, Chris Bell, and Judah Mintz and reacts to opinions from our Syracuse Sports Insiders.
