Syracuse continues to put the exhibition season behind them, as they lead Robert Morris 55-32 at the half, thanks to a balanced offensive effort. Andy Rautins is hitting threes (13 points, 4 of 7 from beyond the arc); Wes Johnson is dazzling the crowd with dunks (12 points); and Arinze Onuaku is dominating the inside (14 points, hitting 7 of 8 from the field). Coach Jim Boeheim has to like the way the offense is running, as the Orange had 16 assists in the half. 8 from Scoop Jardine.
Syracuse Has A Healthy Halftime Lead
For a few minutes in the middle of the half, it looked like the Colonials were going to hang around, as Velton Jones drained a jumper to pull within 3 with 8:34 left in the 1st. However, the 'Cuse went on a 31 to 11 run over the last 8-plus minutes to significantly diminish RMU's upset hopes.
