SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Brandon Triche had 18 points, including a
pair of free throws that broke the final tie with 88 seconds left,
and No. 3 Syracuse beat West Virginia 63-61 on Saturday.
After Triche's free throws, the Mountaineers missed four
straight shots, including an airball 3 by Darryl "Truck" Bryant
and a miss on the follow by Deniz Kilicli. But when Kris Joseph
snared the rebound and tried to dribble away, he fell out of bounds
with 6.2 seconds left, giving West Virginia one last chance. Kevin
Jones missed a 3 from the left corner at the buzzer and Syracuse
survived.
Syracuse (22-1, 9-1 Big East) has won 13 of the past 14 games
against West Virginia (15-7, 5-4). The win was the 878th for Orange
coach Jim Boeheim, moving him within one victory of tying North
Carolina's Dean Smith for third in Division I.
