Brent Axe and Mike Waters recap Syracuse basketball's 81-70 win over Cornell on Tuesday night at the JMA Dome.

The Orange had to hold off a pesky Cornell team from springing an upset. They did it with 13 3-pointers, 28 points from Judah Mintz,, 19 from Chris Bell, an all-around great game from Justin Taylor and 12 rebounds from Maliq Brown. Even players who struggled for the most part, in this case Quadir Copeland and JJ Starling, made key plays to give SU the win. 

Axe and Waters also discuss Benny Williams not playing against Cornell and how that situation evolved throughout the game with Williams putting on his warm-ups, sitting on the bench during timeouts and distancing himself from team huddles.
