Jim Boeheim to Kadary Richmond as he walked off the court: "Hey, good job. You're going to be a good player."

Boeheim half: "We got a bad start, then Kadary came in, got a couple steals and Joe hit a couple. We need to make some shots and he got us right back in it. Then we just were good on defense. Jesse did a great job in the middle. He really protected it. He did a tremendous job."

Boeheim on Jesse Edwards: "He showed a lot of promise tonight. This was by far the best that he’s played here. He’s a presence, he’s big, he’s long."

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim confirmed in his post-game presser that both Buddy Boeheim and Joe Girard had tested positive for Covid.

Boeheim: "Kadary made some really good passes. His defense was exceptional." Adds that assistant coach Allen Griffin has worked extra with Jesse Edwards. "I think he has potential to get a lot better," Boeheim says.

Half: Syracuse went down 11-2 then ripped off a big run, tightened up on D and turned this into what could be a blowout. Orange up 36-22 with good minutes from Richmond and Edwards to provide the spark. Ran well with a lineup of Richmond-Girard-Boeheim-Guerrier-Edwards

Boeheim following Syracuse's 83-57 win over Miami: "Kadary coming in and Jesse coming in (was good). Jesse was monstrous. He did a great job in the middle, he was a presence out there. Joe was really good. Q has been steady all year. I thought he made some good passes tonight."

When asked about having Covid, Joe Girard said he took one video of a bottle of hot sauce and not smelling anything and sent it to Buddy Boeheim.

Final: Syracuse 83, Miami 57. Girard and Boeheim both with 23 points. Guerrier with 18 points and 8 boards. But we'll be talking about the contributions of Jesse Edwards (7 pts/6 rebs) and Kadary Richmond (8 assists/3 steals, 5 pts) after this one.

JG3 said he also has asthma, so having Covid really wiped him out. He lost his sense of smell. Jim Boeheim said both Joe and Buddy had Covid.
