The Syracuse University men's basketball team prevails despite a media circus surrounding the program after the firing of associate head coach Bernie Fine amid molestation accusations. The Orange defeat Eastern Michigan, 84-48.

Syracuse University men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim sat without long-time associate head coach Bernie Fine by his side in the Carrier Dome Tuesday. Amid all the allegations and the subsequent firing of Fine, the Orange (7-0, 5-0 home), ranked No. 3 in the USA Today/ESPN Top 25, still found a way to cruise to an 84-48 victory over the Eastern Michigan Eagles (4-3, 1-2 road).
