After weathering an early storm by the Depaul Blue Demons, the Syracuse Orangmen and Kris Joseph went on a run of their own. With seven minutes left in the game, Joseph hit the go ahead three and the Orange never looked back en route to closing the game on a 16-5 run and grabbing their 21st victory of the season. Syracuse went down 16 point early in the game, but battled back to cut he lead down to four before the half, and then lurked around waiting to make their move, which proved to be the difference in the game. Joseph dropped 15 points for the Orangemen, and Wesley Johnson added 16 points while corralling 13 rebounds. The #4 ranked team in the nation sits at 21-1 overall, with their only loss coming in a Big East Brawl with the Pitt Panthers. Syracuse has an extremely talented team, and Jim Boeheim has them playing great basketball as they head down the final stretch of the season in conference play.
