Taco Time: Bourama Sidibe ends taco drought for Syracuse fans

With less than four minutes remaining in the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team’s win over the Oakland Golden Grizzlies on Wednesday night, Elijah Hughes curled around a screen set by Bourama Sidibe in the lane, received a pass from Joe Girard III, and then dished it to Sidibe, who was rolling to the basket. Although Oakland’s Brad Brechting blocked Sidibe’s lay-in attempt, the Orange center got his own offensive rebound and scored his only basket of the game on an uncontested layup to put the Orange up 70-60.

Ticket holders from the game will be able to enjoy a free taco at any participating Taco Bell restaurant by presenting their ticket stubs.

Syracuse is now 5-2 against the taco spread (ATTS) in seven home games this year. Buddy Boeheim, Elijah Hughes, Joe Girard, and Jesse Edwards have also scored Taco Time for SU fans this season.
