Orange add another win

Syracuse repeated as Big East Conference champions by beating No. 15 Pittsburgh 65-61 on Saturday night. It was the first time in their record four victories they didn't need late-game heroics from senior guard Gerry McNamara.

It was sophomore Josh Wright who clinched the title win, making four free throws in the final 17 seconds.

Syracuse (23-11) became the lowest-seeded team to win the Big East tournament -- the Orange came in at No. 9 -- and the third school to repeat, joining Georgetown in 1985 and Connecticut in 1999.
