By Corey Henry Senior Staff Photographer

Syracuse (20-7, 8-5 Atlantic Coast) was dominated by Notre Dame (26-3, 13-2), 98-68, in its biggest test of the season. Arike Ogunbowale led the Fighting Irish with 24 points as SU star Tiana Mangakahia failed to gain momentum until the second half. A second-quarter run undid Syracuse in one of its worst losses of the season.

Here are the best shots from the game.
