The play happened in the middle of the first half of ‘Cuse’s blowout win over the Seminoles, when after a Syracuse basket, Buddy appeared to turn and throw a fist into Wyatt Wilkes’ body. Video replays showed Buddy made strong contact with the FSU hooper’s stomach and the force was so great, Wilkes actually had to leave the game for a few minutes to recover. 

“I swung my arm while turning to go back up the court,” Buddy said. “It was wrong to act out in frustration. I apologized to Wyatt Wilkes multiple times in the handshake line.” 

Buddy added, “I pride myself in respecting the game and our opponent. I will not react that way again.” 

After the game, Jim decided to opinionate upon the same, and revealed that his son did not take a cheap shot on purpose. 

As for FSU’s Head Coach, Leonard Hamilton, he praised Buddy Boeheim when asked about the incident. 

“I don’t want anything to take away from how well they played and what type of fine young man he is,” Hamilton said. “The game is physical. You expect guys to go out and bang and be aggressive. And if something inadvertently happens, sometimes we want to categorize it one way or another.”
