Syracuse outshoots Richmond 76-71

SYRACUSE -- Jonny Flynn and Eric Devendorf combined for 49 points, Arinze Onuaku had 17, and Syracuse beat Richmond 76-71 on Tuesday night in the CBE Classic.

Syracuse (2-0) quickly erased its 38-31 halftime deficit with a 13-2 run in the first five minutes of the second half, and the Orange did so by hitting from long range just as the Spiders had in the opening half.

Flynn started it with two driving layups and then assisted on four straight baskets by Devendorf — three 3-pointers and a driving, left-handed layup that gave Syracuse a 44-40 lead at 15:46.
