For one game, Triche was back to the player he was in his freshman year, when he hit 40 percent of his 3-pointers. Triche scored 14 points, including 3-for-5 from downtown, helping the Orange to a 100-43 win.

The relatively easy next few games will afford Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim to open up his bench and assess who will be in the rotation come conference play. Southerland hopes he can be one of those players.

Last season, as a sophomore, Joseph started to live up to the potential others saw, averaging nearly 11 points a game, third-best on the team.

All season long the players and Jim Boeheim have said this team can shoot. We hear about what great shooters James Southerland and Brandon Triche are in practice. Well, this game was pretty much like practice for the Orange. Syracuse beat Colgate, 100-43. The 57-point win equaled the biggest margin of victory of the Boeheim era.
