Instant Juice: Syracuse 68, St. John’s 63

Freshman Tyler Ennis, who had just taken an ill-advised 3 (which missed) and a silly transition foul, came back with a pair of free throws and layup, which put Syracuse back on top. On the ensuing Syracuse possession, CJ Fair hit a baseline jumper to put SU back up 4 with 3:00 left, and they would not relinquish for the rest of the game.
