St John's Highlights SU Basketball's Weakness From 3-Point Range (sujuiceonline.com; Sagan)
Syracuse’s woes from downtown continued 69-57 loss to St. John’s on Saturday night, giving the Red Storm its first win at the Dome since 1999. The Orange was just 3-22 on 3-point attempts, and is now a shooting a combined 20.9 percent for the season.
As usual, Trevor Cooney was being guarded carefully, and the Red Storm held him to 0-4 from 3. He wasn’t the only one to struggle, as BJ Johnson (0-3), Kaleb Joseph (1-5), Michael Gbinije (1-3) and Ron Patterson (1-7) were all ineffective.
Syracuse shot just 39 percent from the field and 10-20 from the line.
The poor shooting continued into crunch time, with the Orange missing its final five attempts from beyond the arc with under 10 minutes to go. Patterson missed four attempts and Cooney missed one as the Red Storm closed on a 17-2 run.

UVa Routs VCU' G Tech Stunned (PS; Stevens)
Justin Anderson and Virginia ripped apart Virginia Commonwealth.
Georgia Tech received a jolt from an Atlantic Sun school.
N.C. State won the first conference game of the season.
That, plus a glance at Sunday's three-game slate, in the ACC night in review.
DAY TO REMEMBER
Justin Anderson, Virginia
The Cavaliers are 9-0 for the first time since 2001-02, and they ended Virginia Commonwealth's 22-game home winning streak with a blistering 74-57 victory that might constitute their best game yet during an impressive opening month.
And who played well (again)? Justin Anderson.
The junior scored a season-high 21 points, leading Virginia in scoring for the seventh time already this year, to aid the rout. It's just another sign Anderson is well-equipped to help fill the scoring void left in Charlottesville after Joe Harris' graduation.

The Wiyos, Ryan Vanderhoof, DeSantis Orchestra Christmas: 5 Concerns Worth Checking Out This Week (PS; Baker)
The upcoming Billy Joel concert at the Carrier Dome dominating music talk last week. But the Piano Man's show still looms three months away. While the area's larger theaters are quiet this week, take a chance to check out some stuff off the beaten path.
1. Dusty Pas'cal, Tim Herron, Ryan Vanderhoof
After a sell-out crowd for Jeffrey Gaines in November, the Listening Room Series at Small Plates returns with a trio of local talent. Dusty Pas'cal brings his goofball humor and storyteller style along with Tim Herron -- fresh off the release of a thoughtful new disc, "Sentimental Blues" -- and Ryan Vanderhoof, an Auburn guy whose music with Akron/Family featured prominently in Bobcat Goldthwait's 2009 film, "World's Greatest Dad."
Where: Small Plates, 116 Walton St., Syracuse
When: Wednesday, Dec. 10, 7 p.m. (doors at 6 p.m.)
Tickets: $10 via Eventbrite.com; $15 at the door
