SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) – Dion Waiters had 15 points and Kris Joseph had 11 and eight rebounds, as No. 3 Syracuse on Tuesday continued to win amid a federal investigation, this time outlasting Marshall, 62-56, at the Carrier Dome.
It was the third game for the Orange (9-0) since former associate head coach Bernie Fine was fired after allegations by three men that he sexually molested them as minors. Two of the three men were former Syracuse ballboys. Fine has maintained his innocence and no charges have been filed.
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim figured the Thundering Herd (5-2), which beat Cincinnati of the Big East in overtime on the road, would offer a tough challenge for the Orange.
He was right.
But Scoop Jardine helped down the stretch, finishing with 10 points, five rebounds and four assists as the Orange became the first Big East team to get to nine wins.
