42nd streak
Colgate was in the game for about two minutes, then it was all Orange, as Syracuse rolled to its 42nd straight win over the Raiders, 87-59.

The Orangemen scored first and never trailed. Colgate managed to tie it at 5-5 on a Kyle Roemer trey with 17:53 to go in the first half. Then Syracuse went on an 11-0 run and that was it.

Colgate cut the lead to 9 on a Roemer jumper, but Arinze Onuaku's free throw pushed it back to double digits for good.

Freshman Mike Venezia, playing his first college game after suffering a preseason knee injury, led Colgate with 11 points. Roamer and Kendall Chones each added 10 for Colgate, which shot 37.3 percent (22-59) from the field. The Raiders came into the game ranked fourth nationally in three-point shooting percentage, but hit just 5 of 17 (29.4 percent) from the arc. 'Gate was outrebounded 45-29 and turned the ball over 21 times.

Syracuse shot 54/4 percent (31-57) from the field, including 6 of 17 from the arc, and went 19 for 32 at the foul line.
