Syracuse closed both the non-conference portion of their schedule and the 2014 calendar year with a choppy 61-44 victory over Cornell Wednesday night at the Carrier Dome.
The basketball program has had a stellar five and a half year run: a Final Four, an Elite Eight, two No. 1-seeds, multiple No. 1 rankings, and a record of 157-36.
While SU bounced back from a less-than-stellar performance in the first half, the 49ers showed the Hall of Fame coach that there is a lot of work to be done.
