Syracuse forward Rick Jackson was the difference on Friday night as he scored 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds in the Orange's 77-60 win over Indiana State. Also reaching double figures for Syracuse, who plays Marquette on Sunday night, were C.J. Fair (14 and seven rebounds) and Kris Joseph (12, 10 rebounds and four assists).
A key player to watch on Sunday is guard Brandon Triche, who attempted just five shots (9 points) in the regular season meeting. Syracuse is also a bit deeper with Dion Waiters earning more minutes (DNP in January meeting), and Fab Melo has played better in recent weeks.
