NEW YORK -- No. 21 Syracuse has surged ahead in this one, 31-25, with just more than six minutes to play in the first half as the Orangemen has got some easy buckets in transition after long-range shots from Washington led to several run-outs.

Venoy Overton, though, has kept the Huskies close, knocking down a three from left wing, while Jon Brockman continues to battle inside with Donte Green and Arinze Onuaku.

Syracuse's struggles from the free throw line have continued, as Onuaku just missed another from the charity stripe.

Scoop Jardine has just picked up an intentional foul on Overton during a Washington fast break, and the Huskies will get two shots and the ball after this time.
