SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Scoop Jardine scored 15 points to help No. 2 Syracuse overcome a 13-point first-half deficit and beat South Florida 56-48 on Wednesday night.
Kris Joseph had 12 points and nine rebounds for the Orange (28-1, 15-1 Big East), who matched school records for most regular-season and conference victories, both set in 2009-10.
Anthony Collins scored 16 points for the Bulls, who endured a 26-0 Syracuse run over a 12:33 stretch spanning halftime. South Florida (17-11, 10-5) had a four-game winning streak snapped and dropped to 1-9 against Syracuse.
The game was decided in the final 5 minutes, with the Orange leading 47-46.
Jardine was fouled making a layup with 4:04 left. He completed the three-point play, and Joseph added two putbacks of his own misses to seal the win.
