It got even worse on Dec. 21, when St. John’s pounded the Orange 93-60. At the Carrier Dome. It was the worst loss for the home team in the history of the building. But Syracuse stunned No. 6 Florida State 82-72 on Saturday at home. Kansas/Nebraska transfer Andrew White scored 24 points for the Orange. It followed that win with Wednesday’s 100-93 overtime victory at North Carolina State.
