Tyus Battle had 21 points in the game for the Orange, bouncing back from two straight games where he shot poorly.

Syracuse (12-4, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) dropped its second straight conference game in a 51-49 loss to Notre Dame (13-3, 3-0) Saturday afternoon. The Orange entered halftime with a nine-point lead, but gave it all up in the second half as it was dominated on the glass by the Irish. Tyus Battle found his stroke once again and SU was hot from the outside, but the second chances for Notre Dame proved too costly for the Orange in the end, eventually losing the game on a putback layup attempt with just a few seconds remaining.
