If you could combine #9 Syracuse’s first two games of the season, there would be one phenomenal game and one that would give head coach Jim Boeheim at least one migraine. After overcoming a 14-point first half deficit to blow out Cornell in the season opener, the Orange (2-0) dominated early against Fordham before settling for an 89-74 victory.

A 10-0 run midway through the first half put the Orange in complete control as they took a 26-8 lead with 6:50 left, a lead that would balloon to 46-21 at the break.
