 SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - At least Gerry McNamara went out on his own terms. With a record Carrier Dome crowd cheering his every move, McNamara scored a game-high 29 points for Syracuse in his final regular-season home game but Allan Ray had 28 points to lead No. 4 Villanova to a 92-82 win Sunday.
Randy Foye added 21 points for the Wildcats (24-3, 14-2), who earned a tie for the conference title with Connecticut and a second seed in the Big East tournament. It was the 10th loss in 13 games for the sinking Orange (19-11, 7-9).
"If I was going out with a loss, that's the way I wanted to go out — fighting," said McNamara, whose pull-up 3-pointer with 6:35 left in the first half broke the Big East record of 178 career 3s in league play he shared with former Miami star Steve Edwards.
