NEW YORK -- Donte Green just jammed one home to put Syracuse up by seven, 57-50, but Washington's Tim Morris responded right back down the floor with a jumper from the right wing to keep the Orangemen's lead at five.

Since then, though, Syracuse has gotten up and down the floor, pushing its lead to 60-52 on some fastbreak points and forcing Washington to take a timeout at 14:29 in the second half.

The Huskies look to be playing hard but can't seem to get some easy looks around the basket to go down, and Quincy Pondexter has looked particularly frustrated -- one of the nice perks of sitting baseline for tonight's games rather than up in Section 69 of The World's Most Famous Arena.
