SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — William Kyle III had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Syracuse beat Saint Joseph’s 71-63 on Tuesday night, preserving the Orange’s perfect home record.
Syracuse (6-3) controlled the paint behind Kyle and steady contributions from Nate Kingz and Tyler Betsey, who scored 14 and 16 points, respectively. Saint Joseph’s briefly pulled even at 38-all early in the second half before Kiyan Anthony converted a three-point play that gave the Orange the lead for good with 12:50 to play.
Saint Joseph’s (6-4) entered as the top free-throw shooting team in Division I but finished just 18 for 27 at the line. Deuce Jones scored 18 with four steals, and Jaiden Glover-Toscano added 14 points and nine rebounds in 36 minutes. The Hawks generated 14 offensive boards but converted few of those chances and went 5 for 26 from deep.
The Orange finished 47% from the field and 6 for 14 from downtown while improving to 5-0 at home.
Ibrahim Souare, who played 12 minutes without attempting a shot, has now logged 69 minutes this season without a field-goal attempt, the most in Division I by a wide margin. Jackson State’s Raevon Thomas is in second place with 18 minutes played, all in one game.
