Seton Hall

In flow on offense in the second half, SU kept the Pirates at bay and clamped down on field goal defense to win going away. The victory kept the Orange in a three-way tie with Marquette and Georgetown atop the Big East standings at 9-3.

With Tuesday’s 57-55 loss to Rutgers at the RAC, the Pirates have lost six in a row, and 10 of their last 11.

On Wednesday night, Melo himself was overwhelming, setting a school record with ten blocked shots as #1 Syracuse cruised in their Big East opener over Seton Hall at the Carrier Dome, 75-49.
