COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Syracuse rallies past DePaul
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROSEMONT, III. — Wes Johnson scored 16 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, and No. 4 Syracuse rallied from 18 down to beat De-Paul 59-57 Saturday for its eighth straight win.
The Orange scored 16 straight to cut their deficit to two late in the first half, then took the lead with a 16-2 run in the second, escaping with a victory after DePaul's Will Walker missed a 3-pointer in the closing seconds.
Kris Joseph added 15 points for Syracuse (21-1, 8-1 Big East), including a 3-pointer that started the decisive rally. Rick Jackson scored 10.
Walker poured in 21 for DePaul (8-13, 1-8), which has lost nine of 10 and three straight since a win over Marquette that stopped a 24-game conference regular-season losing streak.
Trailing 52-43 with about seven minutes left, Joseph buried a 3-pointer to start the go-ahead run.
Andy Rautins connected from the outside after DePaul's Michael Bizoukas threw the ball away, and the Orange kept coming after the Blue Demons' Mike Stovall hit two free throws.
Scoop Jardine burted another 3-pointer, and Johnson tied it at 54 with a one-handed fastbreak dunk over Stovall.
Jardine gave the Orange their first lead with a layup that made it 56-54 with 3:37 left, and Joseph converted a layup and hit a free throw to make it 59-54.
DePaul stayed in it when Walker hit a 3 with 1:08 left, but the Blue Demons could not bury the potential winner in the closing seconds after Rautins missed a 3, and the Orange walked away with a tight victory.
From the start, this was anything but an easy afternoon for Syracuse.
The Orange turned the ball over on their first two possessions, resulting in a 3 by DePaul's Stovall and a jumper by Jeremiah Kelly and more early-game angst for a
team that fell behind 14-0 before rallying to beat Georgetown by 17 on Monday.
This time, they couldn't stop an opponent that ranked last in the Big East in scoring and field-goal percentage.
A 3-pointer by Walker, a steal and layup by Mac Koshwal after a timeout, and a layup by Krys Faber to cap a nine-point spurt made it 18-6, and the Blue Demons were just getting started.
Another 3 by Walker started another 9-0 run that Stovall finished with a floater, making it 33-15 with 8:53 left in the half and whipping the crowd into another frenzy.
It didn't last.
Arinze Onuaku scored and the Orange reeled off 16 straight, rattling the Blue Demons with their press. A long 3-pointer from the top by Rautins and short hook by Jackson pulled Syracuse within 33-31 with 1:48 left before Faber hit a corner jumper to make it a four-point game and end a 7-minute, 40-second drought for DePaul.

The Jayhawks had a record-breaking meet Friday at the Jayhawk Invitational.
Senior Lauren Bonds breezed past a 3,000 meter run, breaking a Jayhawk record of 9:33.24 with her time of 9:30.9. She broke a school record which had been standing since 1992, but she came in second in the race, which was won by Emily Sisson, a high school senior from St. Louis.
Bonds was aiming to break her third school record — the other two being in the 1,000 meters and the mile — sometime this year, but said she never expected to do accomplish her goal so early in the season.

"I hope I'll have another chance to run it this indoor season," Bonds said. "If not, you know, I'm just happy I got it in the first place. I'd like to lower my time a little bit."
The layhawk Invitational is the biggest meet Kansas athletes have participated in so far this season. More than 20 schools participated in the Friday event indoors at Anschutz Pavilion.
Bonds' distance teammate, sophomore Rebeka Stowe set a personal record running the mile, with a time of 4:58.23. She finished in first place. This is Stowe's first time beating the five-minute-mile mark, which she said was a goal of hers. She said she had been having good workouts lately, so she knew the record was going to come soon.
"I knew I was going to do it this
year, because it's what I expected." Stowe said. "I didn't know if it would be this race just because the field wasn't really deep so there wasn't a lot of people in front of me for me to push off of."

teammate, sophomore Shayla Wilson. This was Washington's first victory as a college-level runner.
"This is definitely a start for me, but I'm trying to be a champ, a Big 12 champ, so it's just a start," Washington said.
Junior Kendra Bradley also took first in her event, the 400-meter, with a time of 57.02 seconds.
Freshman Rebecca Neville took first place in the pentathlon, but said she is still about 130 points away from qualifying for NCAA nationals, which will be held in March in Fayetteville, Ark.
"For the first one of the year that was OK! Neville said.
