Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andy Rautins had 20 points, as third-ranked
Syracuse downed Cincinnati, 71-54, at Fifth Third Arena.
Kris Joseph had 17 points, while Scoop Jardine and Arinze Onuaku each chipped
in with 11 points for the Orange (23-1, 10-1 Big East), who have won 10
straight games.
Ibrahima Thomas had 13 points and seven rebounds, while Yancy Gates added 11
points and five boards for the Bearcats (14-9, 5-6), who have dropped three of
four.
Early in the second half, six straight points from Syracuse allowed for a
38-32 lead on a Rick Jackson layup just under three minutes in.
Cincinnati later came back with a 7-0 run to take a 49-43 lead on a Cashmere
Wright three-ball with 12 1/2 minutes to play.
The Orange then used a 10-1 burst to gain a 53-50 lead on a pair of free
throws from Jardine with 8:40 left in the contest.
After a Cincinnati bucket, Syracuse scored the next six points and held a
59-52 lead with 6 1/2 minutes to play on a Joseph layup.
Two free throws from Thomas was followed by a layup from Rautins and a three-
pointer off the hands of Joseph to give Syracuse a 10-point lead with 4:42 to
play.
That proved to break the back of Cincinnati as it didn't score a single point
for the remainder of the game.
The Bearcats held an 11-2 lead about five minutes in after Lance Stephenson
put in a pair of free throws.
The Orange, though, later scored 11 straight points and took a 17-15 lead on
an Onuaku layup with a bit over eight minutes to play in the first half.
From there the score stayed tight with neither side building a lead of more
than four points, and Syracuse closed the half with a jumper from Joseph and a
free throw from Jardine to take a 32-30 lead into the break.
