It was a slow start for the Syracuse Orange from the Carrier Dome tonight, but they came away with the 77-56 win over the Colgate Raiders. Colgate was hot from deep to start the game, and the Orange failed to remove the lid from the rim in the first half. However, a strong second half from Tyus Battle helped Syracuse lift that lid and lead them to a bounce back win in the Carrier Dome.
With Paschal Chukwu heading to the locker-room with a first half injury, Marek Dolezaj and Bourama Sidibe stepped up.
