Defense takes the night off while offense takes over

I had almost forgot what a close game felt like. Syracuse hadn’t had a game this tight in about a month and even that Marshall game was well in hand before the Thundering Herd went on a late but irrelevant run. Syracuse led by just 2 points at the half but was just too good for the Friars after the break and cruised to a 87-73 victory to improve to 15-0.

Joseph leads Orange to easy win

Syracuse had an easy time against DePaul last night. It wasn’t quite the 107-59 beat down from last year but it also wasn’t the 59-57 nail biter from the year before that. It was a solid win as the Orange improve to 15-0 and will remain No. 1 in the polls
