Gallery: Syracuse cruises past Eastern Washington on opening night, 66-34
Syracuse (1-0) won its 15th-straight opening night contest on Tuesday in the Carrier Dome, defeating Eastern Washington (0-1), 66-34. The Orange were led by 20 points and eight rebounds from sophomore forward Oshae Brissett. The 34 points allowed were the fewest Syracuse had given up in the Carrier Dome, and much could be attributed to an effective full-court press which shut down the Eagles and got SU 33 points off turnovers.
