Syracuse extended the nation’s longest winning streak by one team over another as they knocked off Colgate 72-54 or their first win of the season. It was the 54th consecutive win for the Orange over the Raiders. Syracuse led by only six at the half, but used a 15-3 run to start the second half to put the game away.
Coming off of a 14 point loss to Virginia in the season opener in which they only scored 34 points, the lowest under Jim Boehiem, this was a much needed win against a good Colgate team that is predicted to win the Patriot League or the second straight season.
