Orangemen endure a tumultuous day

SYRACUSE - The Syracuse University men's basketball team saw its 23-point bulge whittled down to six, but woke up in time for a 76-64 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday night at the Carrier Dome.

The win ended a two-game losing streak.

The 20th-ranked Orangemen (14-3; 4-20) were without starting point guard Billy Edelin. Syracuse's department of athletic communications released a statement saying Edelin would not play for an indefinite period of time.
