Seton Hall Upsets No. 13 Syracuse

Kelly Whitney had 21 points and eight rebounds to lead Seton Hall to a 74-67 victory over No. 13 Syracuse on Tuesday night at East Rutherford, N.J.

Syracuse sophomore guard Gerry McNamara had six points but played only 10 minutes in the second half because of an injury to his left groin.

Coach Jim Boeheim said he might have stayed too long with McNamara, who helped the Orangemen win the national title last season.

“He hurt himself early in the game. He wanted to keep playing but I probably should have taken him out and kept him out,” Boeheim said.

The Pirates, 12-4 overall and 2-2 in the Big East Conference, ended a five-game skid against Syracuse. It was Coach Louis Orr’s first victory in five games against his alma mater and his former coach.

The loss ended the 13-game winning streak for Syracuse (13-2, 3-1).
