The Syracuse basketball team used a dominating second half to cruise past Le Moyne, 97-64, in the Orange’s second exhibition contest.
In contrast to its victory a week ago over Indiana (Pa.), Syracuse started out fast against the crosstown Le Moyne Dolphins, a Division II program. The Orange built an early 11-3 lead, and it would jump to 31-15 further along in the first half.
Unlike seven years ago, when Le Moyne stunned Syracuse in an exhibition tilt in which the Orange played man-to-man defense the entire game, head coach Jim Boeheim had his squad in its trademark 2-3 zone this time around.
