Cornell Gives 'Em Hell

Cornell hung tight with Syracuse last night, but eventually SU pulled away for a 67-62 win. Terrence Roberts and freshman Eric Devendorf led the Orange with some key baskets down the stretch, turning a 56-56 tie into a 62-57 lead. SU missed 18 straight 3-point shots after hitting the first 3-point attempt of the game. Gerry McNamara missed 10 3-pointers (ending his streak of 53 straight games with a trey), but he did end up with 17 points, by making 13 free throws. SU will play the winner of the Lubbock regional (probably Texas Tech) next Thursday night at the World's Most Famous Arena.
