NEW YORK -- Syracuse fans are already heading for the exits with 3:50 remaining, and it looks like unranked Ohio State is going to upset the No. 21 team in the country to advance to the NIT Season Tip-off finals against No. 16 Texas A&M on Friday night.

Kosta Koufos has really been the difference at both ends of the floor, shooting the ball well from the perimeter and finding openings in Jim Boeheim's patented 3-2 zone to get easy dunks and putbacks under the hoop.

Syracuse has gone to a full court trap in order to force Ohio State into some careless turnovers, but it doesn't seem to be working right now as the Buckeyes lead, 76-65, at the three-minute mark.
