Syracuse (14-5, 5-1 Atlantic Coast) cruised to its fifth conference win, beating Miami (9-9, 1-5) 73-53. The Orange shot 49.1 percent from the field overall and knocked down 14 of its 30 3-point attempts. Elijah Hughes led the Orange in scoring with 22, but SU relied on an all-around effort to maintain its three-game win streak that began with an upset of then-No. 1 Duke in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Here’s what the beat writers had to say after SU’s win.
