SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -Scoop Jardine, James Southerland and Dion Waiters each had 13 points and No. 10 Syracuse hit 11 of 16 from beyond the arc to beat Division II Le Moyne 91-48 in an exhibition game on Tuesday night.
It was the second and final tuneup for the Orange, who open the season at home against Northern Iowa on Friday night, and it atoned for an embarrassing preseason loss a year ago to the Dolphins.
Chris Johnson led Le Moyne with 23 points and Nate Champion had nine.
Kris Joseph had 12 for Syracuse, and Brandon Triche and Mookie Jones each had nine.
Johnson, Le Moyne’s leading returning scorer, hit the game-winning 3 in the closing seconds that beat the Orange 82-79 a year ago. There was no chance of anything like that happening again on this night.
