No. 1 in the country, and the Big East too

On Monday Syracuse found themselves number one in the country, both in the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today rankings. On Tuesday night they also found themselves to be number one in the Big East, all alone, and with nobody going to catch them.

Syracuse dominated a game they were supposed to against St. John's, winning 85-66. On senior night it was the two seniors that stood out for Syracuse, as Arinze Onuaku and Andy Rautins were able to really dominate the second half, hooking up several times throughout en route to Onuaku's 21 points, to go along with his eight rebounds.

Tuesday once again was a showing of what the team mentality is, and how the Orange got to number one in the polls and Big East standings. They had five players in double figures and 19 assists on 30 field goals.

Syracuse found themselves holding their second hardware of the season, halfway their though, with the Big East Tournament and NCAA Tournament still ahead.
