SYRACUSE, N.Y. – #8/7 Syracuse’s (21-3, 8-2) 16-game home winning streak came to end Monday night at the Carrier Dome as the Orange lost to the #19/14 Connecticut Huskies (15-5, 7-3 BIG EAST), 74-66.

After leading by just one, 37-36, at the half, an 11-6 run by Connecticut in the opening five minutes of the second stanza put the Huskies ahead by seven, 49-42. Eight unanswered points by the Orange, including four by Gerry McNamara, gave Syracuse a one-point advantage, 50-49, at the 13:24 mark.
With the Orange leading by two, 53-51, with 11:44 remaining, Warrick received his fourth foul of the night, and was sent to the bench. Syracuse increased its lead to five, 61-56, with 8:10 remaining before the Huskies scored five-straight points. Warrick re-entered the SU lineup at the 6:04 mark with the score tied, 61-61.
Back-to-back layups by Marcus Williams and Charlie Villanueva put Connecticut up four but SU answered on a jumper by Billy Edelin and a layin by Josh Pace, tying the game at 65-65 with 3:06 left.
Pace had 14 points and six rebounds for the Orange, while Terrence Roberts had 12 points and five rebounds before fouling out. McNamara had nine points and six assists.
