Buddy Boeheim, son of Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, scored nine of his 14 points in overtime to lead the Orange to a 63-55 win over No. 18 Virginia in an ACC game on Saturday in Charlottesville, Va.

After Virginia's Mamadi Diakite made a layup to open the overtime period, Syracuse made three consecutive 3-pointers, capped by Boeheim's shot with 3:21 remaining. Elijah Hughes and Joseph Girard III had the other 3-pointers as the Orange led 52-45.

Boeheim later beat the shot clock with a 30-foot 3-pointer that banked in to put Syracuse ahead 57-49 with 1:19 left.

Two free throws by Clark with 1:19 left in regulation tied the game at 43.
