None of the Orange went nuts on the statsheet but the points were spread around. Onuaku led the Orange with 14 points while Wes Johnson added 12 points and 8 rebounds. Rick Jackson, Scoop Jardine and Kris Joseph all scored in double-figures as well.
In his first game, freshman Brandon Triche scored 8 points, added assists and grabbed 6 rebounds. Not too shabby for a true freshman not named Flynn.
