Another poor shooting night for No. 12 Orange lead to the team's third straight loss in Saturday's game against No. 10 Louisville.

The losing streak continues.

No. 12 Syracuse (22-7, 10-6) lost its third game in a row, this time to No. 10 Louisville (24-5, 12-4) on Saturday afternoon, 58-53. This marked the last game between the two in Big East play. Turnovers and a poor offensive start put SU in a hole that they weren’t able to fight out of.

“You can’t make those types of mistakes in tournament type games,” said head coach Jim Boeheim. “It’s difficult to win against zone defenses when you don’t make many shots from the perimeter.”

The Orange dropped its second straight game, losing to Marquette, 74-71

Syracuse's best player is CJ Fair

Not Michael Carter-Williams, Brandon Triche or James Southerland. CJ Fair. His 20 points against Marquette was the 12th time this season he has had 15 or more points. He has nine double-doubles on the season, including five in conference play.

In front of a record crowd, No. 11 Georgetown controlled most of the game, en route to a 57-46 upset victory over No. 11 Syracuse.

Otto Porter single-handedly took over the game with the flick of his wrist.

In a game where neither team shot particularly well, the Georgetown forward scored 33 points and the No. 11 Hoyas (21-4, 11-3) upset No. 8 Syracuse (22-5, 10-4) 57-46 Saturday. Both teams shot below 36-percent from the field, and neither team could find its shot from behind the arc.

No. 9 Syracuse defeated St. John's Sunday in the Carrier Dome, 77-58, extending the Orange's home win-streak to 37 and giving Jim Boeheim his 16th 20-win season.

The Orange expected a return to offensive efficiency and 3-point shooting with the return of James Southerland on Sunday at the Carrier Dome. Syracuse got what it expected.

No. 9 Syracuse (20-3) used ball movement and unselfish play to get open looks from downtown, hitting those shots at an amazing clip. The offensive fury was too much for St. John’s (15-8) to handle as they struggled defensively throughout the game, ending with a 77-58 victory for SU.
