In the battle of the Boeheims, the Syracuse Orange came away with the 63-55 win over the Cornell Big Red. After Syracuse secured an important win over Ohio State on Wednesday, SU returned home to the Carrier Dome to square off against in-state foe Cornell. The Big Red made the Syracuse faithful sweat this one out, but ultimately the Orange were able to come away with its third straight win.
After leading the Orange to a win against the Ohio State Buckeyes last Wednesday, Tyus Battle stayed hot on offense as he got his shot early with a layup off the tip, and he stayed aggressive looking for his shot all night.
