SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Graduate guard Andrew White III scored all of his game-high 18 points in the first half and Syracuse (3-0) remained unbeaten by defeating Monmouth (1-2), 71-50, in the Brooklyn Hoops Holiday Invitational at the Carrier Dome.
Â
White hit 6-of-10 from the field, including a trio of 3-pointers, in the first 20 minutes of play to help the Orange build a 37-29 advantage by the break. The game was knotted at 20 when White connected on consecutive 3-pointers to put Syracuse up for good. White tallied 12 of the last 17 SU points of the half.
Â
Syracuse opened the second half with six straight points to extend its lead to 43-29. The Orange margin grew to as many as 25 points before the outing was settled.
Â
In addition to White's work, freshman forward Taurean Thompson hit 5-of-6 shots and finished with 12 points. Freshman guard Tyus Battle drained three 3-pointers and had nine points, sophomore guard Frank Howard had eight points and six assists and graduate center DaJuan Coleman contributed seven points and a game-high eight boards. Sophomore forward Tyler Lydon ended up with six points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots.
The Syracuse defense limited Monmouth to 20-of-64 (.313) from the field, including a 4-of-29 (.138) effort from the 3-point line. For the third straight contest, the Orange held the opposition under 60 points.
