No. 9 Syracuse 88, Men's basketball 73
The Orange only led by six at halftime, but it held off Cornell's shooters in the second half and pushed the lead out to 23 at one point en route to an 88-73 victory in the Carrier Dome on Tuesday night. Sophomore guard Chris Wroblewski scored 17 of his 20 points in the first half, shooting 5-of-6 from 3-point range. The team hit 9-of-19 3's in the first half, but cooled down to make just 4-of-18 in the second half. With Cornell's outside shooters out of rhythm, the Red had trouble solving Syracuse's 2-3 zone defense — it committed 10 turnovers in the second half and shot just 38.9 percent.

Freshman forward Errick Peck (eight points, six boards, two assists) played well in 13 minutes off the bench, but Syracuse rookie Brandon Triche stole the show with a game-high 21 points.
