Goes off for 28 points Griffin had 28 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3PT, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks Saturday but it wasn't enough as Syracuse lost to Pittsburgh 96-76.
Impact Griffin was asked to be taken out within the first few minutes of Saturday's game after he reportedly "wasn't feeling well" but returned shortly thereafter and posted a career-best 28 points. Griffin's scoring measures have varied as he's posted 20+ points on five different occasions but has also scored 10 or less in three games. The 6-5 junior leads the Orange with 16.5 points per game and will look to stay hot in Tuesday's upcoming matchup against Miami.
