Camby expected to miss UMass game with Syracuse
From United Press International, 12/30/1995

BOSTON, Dec. 30 – Marcus Camby, the center for No. 1 Massachusetts who suffered a bruised knee Friday night, was expected to miss Saturday night's game against No. 14 Syracuse in the final of the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu.

Although there has been no official confirmation from the tournament site, various outlets in Boston have reported that the 6-11 junior will miss the game after suffering a bruised knee during the Minutemen's 78-63 semifinal victory against Southern California. He was taken to the locker room where x-rays that were taken were negative. Camby, a candidate for the John Wooden Award, is averaging 17.4 points per game this season. He missed four games last season, three after suffering a hamstring injury.

Marcus Camby came off the bench to score 20 points as top-ranked Massachusetts knocked off number 13 Syracuse, 65-47, in the finals of the Rainbow Classic at Honolulu, Hawaii.

Camby bruised his knee early in the first half of the Minutemen's semifinal victory over North Carolina State. Massachusetts (10-0), which is off to its best start in 23 years, outscored Syracuse in the second half, 41-22.

John Wallace scored 22 points and Todd Burgan added 10 for Syracuse (9-1).

The Orangemen led at halftime, 25-24, before Massachusetts opened the second half with a 13-2 burst over the first four minutes.

Edgar Padilla gave Massachusetts the lead for good with a jumper for a 26-25 edge. Camby and Burgan traded baskets before Donta Bright hit a 10-footer to make it 30-27 with 17:43 to play.

Dana Dingle made a layup and two free throws around a basket by Bright and Camby capped the run by making one of two free throws, giving the Minutemen a 37-27 lead.
