SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Wes Johnson scored 19 points, Andy Rautins hit three 3-pointers to help key an early surge and No. 8 Syracuse beat Colgate 92-58 on Monday night. It was the 162nd meeting between the teams, and Syracuse (7-0) leads 117-45, including 44 wins in a row.

Colgate (0-6) lost to No. 14 Connecticut 77-63 in the NIT Season Tip-Off - the Huskies led by just a point at halftime - and was
coming off a 66-65 home loss to St. Francis on Saturday, beaten on a last-second shot. But the Raiders were outclassed from the
opening tip in this one.

Johnson hit a pair of 3s and Rautins drained three more in the first 6:31. That gave him 205 career 3-pointers, tied with Demetris
Nichols for fourth place at Syracuse, three behind Eric Devendorf. Mitch Rolls, Kyle Roemer and Yaw Gyawu led Colgate with eight
points apiece. Roemer, the Raiders' leading scorer, was averaging 18.4 points.
