Syracuse, NY (WIBX) - Maybe critics read too much into back-to-back conference losses to Pitt and Nova, one of which came without the Orange's top scorer Kris Joseph. Maybe. But, what happened Tuesday night?

Syraucse, NY (WIBX) - The return of Kris Joseph wasn't enough to lift No. 3 Syracuse over the 7th ranked Villanova Wildcats.  Joseph lead all scorers with 23 points, but the Cats were victorious 83-72.

Pittsburgh, PA (WIBX) - The No.3 Syracuse Orange fell to No. 4 Pittsburgh on Monday night, the team's first loss of the season. The 74-66 defeat drops Syracuse to 18-1 and 5-1 in the Big East.

Syracuse, NY (WIBX) - The Syracuse defense held No. 25 Cincinnati to just 21 second half points and pulled away for a 67-52 victory at the Carrier Dome.  The No. 4 Orange  remain unblemished, improving to 18-0 and 5-0 in the Big East.
