Colgate Raiders guard Tucker Richardson (15) rips a rebound down in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse N.Y. Nov. 20, 2021.Dennis Nett | dnett@syracuse.com

Syracuse, N.Y. – Syracuse trailed by 11 points with six minutes left in Saturday’s game against Colgate. But the Orange made a little push, a little flurry to cut the advantage to six with five minutes remaining.

The Raiders had the ball and Nelly Cummings rose to attempt a 3-point shot from the left side. The ball ricocheted off the rim and Cummings scampered past his Syracuse defender, tracked the ball down in the corner and passed to Tucker Richardson, who drained yet another Colgate 3.
