On Thursday night, the Terps handed the Hawkeyes their first Big Ten loss, while the Ducks took the mantle of Pac-12 favorites from the Wildcats. However, Oregon has some competition from an old rival.
ACC
Syracuse (14-8, 4-5) opened its four-game ACC homestand with an emphatic 81-66 victory over No. 25 Notre Dame (14-6, 5-3), which saw its four-game win streak come to an end. Trevor Cooney, the Fighting Irish's kryptonite, scored 22 for the Orange, while V.J. Beachem led the Irish, who were without point guard Demetrius Jackson due to a hamstring injury, with the same total.
