'Cuse Takes on UConn for First Time Since 6-OT Game

The Syracuse men's basketball team will play Connecticut tonight since their match led to the second-longest game in Division I history last March. The Orange won the Big East Tournament quarterfinal 127-117 in six overtimes. Syracuse's leading scorer, Jonny Flynn, gained national attention from the game and was the sixth pick in the NBA draft.

This season, the second-ranked Orange haven't lost a step without the point guard. They've gone 23-1 under the leadership of transfer student, Wes Johnson. The forward is leading the team with over 16 points and nearly nine rebounds a game. Connecticut, however, has struggled in the absence of Jim Calhoun. The Huskies started the season 11-6, but have split six games since their head coach went on doctor-ordered medical leave.

With a win, Syracuse will jump over fourth-ranked Villanova for the top spot in the Big East.
