 SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Too much Orange for San Diego State. The largest crowd in NIT history — an orange-clad swarm of 26,752 — braved sleet, snow and a biting March wind to give the Carrier Dome a championship atmosphere Monday night, and the Syracuse Orange responded with an 80-64 second-round victory over San Diego State.
For the team's four seniors — Demetris Nichols, Terrence Roberts, Darryl Watkins and Matt Gorman — it was their last home game, and they relished every minute.
"We like the fact that we came in here and broke the record," said Roberts. "We're making history. Even though we were put in a bad situation a lot of guys really didn't want to be in, we're making the best of it."
