SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) – Kris Joseph and freshman C.J. Fair both scored 14 points, and No. 10 Syracuse beat Division II Kutztown 96-60 in an exhibition game Tuesday night.
The Orange’s freshmen foursome of 7-foot center Fab Melo, Fair, Dion Waiters and 6-10 center Baye Moussa Keita played plenty and combined for 37 points.
Kutztown finished 23-8 last season and won a school-record 28 games the previous year, but the smaller Golden Bears struggled to find many open looks and never found a rhythm. Steve Coffey had 15 points and Julius Gray 12 to lead Kutztown.
Syracuse never trailed and used its superior athleticism to take control in the first half as Scoop Jardine and Rick Jackson both scored eight points and Joseph added seven, including a 3-pointer just before the first-half buzzer that gave the Orange a 47-32 lead.
