How Syracuse squandered an 11-point lead in loss to Old Dominion

Syracuse, N.Y. - It was the kind of loss that leaves a locker room as quiet as a funeral parlor.

The Syracuse locker room was filled with blank stares and hushed voices following the Orange's 68-62 loss to Old Dominion on Saturday at the Carrier Dome.

"It sucks,'' Syracuse sophomore Oshae Brissett said. "Losing at home isn't good.''

Syracuse had control of the game, holding an 11-point lead with just over 15 minutes remaining in the game. Elijah Hughes had just hit a 3-pointer to give the Orange a 39-28 lead.

The game would swing over the next five minutes.
