SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A win is a win is a win. But when a 24-point, second-half lead shrinks to five, and youre outrebounded by eight, a victory doesnt feel quite as satisfying, especially at home.But survive is what Syracuse did Saturday.Andrew White scored a season-high 26 points and Frank Howard had 10 points, a career-high 13 assists and just two turnovers to lead No. 22 Syracuse to a 77-71 victory over North Florida on Saturday.Syracuse (5-2) survived North Florida (3-7) despite nearly blowing a 56-32 lead with just over 12 minutes left. Dallas Moore, who scored 31 points against Florida on Thursday, led the Ospreys comeback with a 30-point effort, including 22 in the second half, many of those points coming on NBA-range 3-pointers.Freshman Tyus Battle, inserted into the starting lineup for the first time this season by coach Jim Boeheim, had a career-high 19 points, 16 in the second half. Dajuan Coleman had a career-high 15 points.We established a 24-point lead, and played very well to get to that point, but we gave it back, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. We got some people in the game and they werent ready to play. It got real close. Thats what happens when youre not ready to play and compete. Thats disappointing. Our bench and rebounding have got to be better.The Orange were outrebounded 41-33.In particular, Boeheim was referring to guard John Gillon and forwards Tyler Roberson, a senior who lost his starting slot to Battle, and freshman Taurean Thompson.White, a fifth-year transfer from Nebraska, has scored in double figures in all seven games. He hit 7 of 13 from beyond the 3-point line. Battle was 4 of 5 from beyond the arc.I thought we fought hard, Moore said. At the 12-minute mark (down 56-32) we just decided to keep fighting, keep fighting and thats what we did. Defending and rebounding, that was the key. As long as we defend and rebound we can beat a lot of teams.And Moore hitting NBA 3s after adjusting to the expansive confines of the Carrier Dome.Their zone is different, I normally cant shoot from out there but those guys are so long. Its the best 2/3 zone Ive ever seen but down the stretch we got it going to cut the lead, he said. And the background is different, I was shooting long at first. I just had to see the ball going in a few times. But I adjusted and my teammates found me, and I started knocking down shots.Moores 3-pointer brought the Ospreys to 73-68 with just over a minute to go but three foul shots by Howard and another by Battle sealed the win for the Orange.BIG PICTURENorth Florida: Despite being ranked 305th nationally in defensive efficiency, the Ospreys hung in with Syracuse.Syracuse: Coming off losses to South Carolina and Wisconsin, the Orange continued to look sluggish, particularly on the offensive end in the first half, then got lazy defensively in the second. If not for White, Syracuse would be in much worse shape.POLL IMPLICATIONSNo. 22 Syracuse is sure to be missing from the Top 25, following Tuesdays loss at Wisconsin and Saturdays struggle against North Florida.UP NEXT:North Florida has week off before hitting the road against Arkansas.Syracuse meets up with former Big East rival UConn on Monday night at Madison Square Garden.

Fans get a chance to celebrate NASCARs past this weekend at Darlington Raceway as teams roll out throwback paint schemes for the second consecutive year.They will debate about who has the best paint scheme, the most authentic.To say the least, it has put the pressure on teams to come up with something cool. Some companies have tried to capitalize on the marketing aspect of it while also trying to keep it historical enough that they can accomplish their goal of selling product as well as celebrating the sport.Back in the days when drivers had one primary sponsor throughout an entire season, drivers were associated with certain colors, sponsors and schemes. Now with drivers having three or more sponsors, their paint schemes can change week to week.The cars are so ... cluttered up with so much stuff on them these days that the paint job is almost insignificant, NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Darrell Waltrip said. The paint job is what made these cars.Waltrip has four cars this weekend -- Matt Kenseth, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Denny Hamlin and Blake Koch?-- that have similar paint schemes to cars he drove in the past.Tide, a former Waltrip sponsor, will return to the sport for a one-race deal with Kenseth. The company had been out of the sport for 10 years and is using this weekend to promote its new pod product.In the last five or six years, particularly in 2009 and 2010, when the economy went to hell, companies had to cut their expenses because the bottom line was getting crushed, said Ricky Craven, a former Tide-sponsored driver who is now an ESPN analyst. They couldnt increase revenue, they were losing revenue, and they had to cut expenses.NASCAR was a very obvious casualty of that. ... A lot of them didnt find their way back or havent. With the economy getting better, hopefully this is an example of that changing but theres no question in my mind the effects of the recession hit NASCAR harder than other sports companies or sports venues.Tide hopes its paint scheme brings back memories of Waltrip, Craven and Ricky Rudd. It uses some of the same shades and colors of its past paint scheme but only current Tide branding on Kenseths car. The color and logo are a little bit off to what Waltrip drove.When it was introduced, though, few fans noticed and celebrated the return of a company that has been out of the sport for 10 years. The company, since it is promoting a current product, wanted to keep its current colors than a little bit different shade of orange-red that Waltrip drove.It was one the best partnerships weve ever had, so even though weve been out of the sport for 10 years, we still kept in tune to the overwhelming fan chatter asking us to bring back the Tide ride and continued the discussion over the years about returning, Tide brand manager Amy Krehbiel said.The same voices likely were heard by Hooters, which is using Greg Biffles car to promote awareness of a campaign to get a holiday for first responders. Like Tide, there are no guarantees Hooters will do more races, although Tide is in talks with Joe Gibbs Racing for more races in the future.Any time youre working with a sponsor with the way our sport works, your goal and your intention is to over-deliver and surprise and delight so they feel like this motorsports marketing platform is something effective for them, Roush Fenway Racing President Steve Newmark said about working with Hooters.These companies run a slippery slope. If they come in and leave, fans could turn on them quickly. And should they really be celebrated as much as companies that have been in the sport the last several years? Jamie McMurray is running an old McDonalds ppaint scheme but it doesnt have that same historic feel.ddddddddddddIn reality, few companies can land a scheme with the same number and same sponsor that they had 20 or 30 years ago. Among the exceptions: STP with Petty Enterprises on the Aric Almirola No. 43 car and Interstate Batteries with Joe Gibbs Racing on the Kyle Busch No. 18 car.Coca-Cola has an authentic paint scheme with Tony Stewart. Coke has been a longtime sponsor of Stewart, so even though it is a remake of a No. 12 car driven by Bobby Allison, the feel is so right now on a No. 14 car.This is one that means a lot to me, Stewart said. I got to see Bobby run this paint scheme on a dirt late model. ... To see it come back is something Im very proud of.Some teams have even extra pressure. The Wood Brothers and Petty Enterprises have such a deep history in the sport, they cant throw a smokescreen on anyone.The Wood Brothers got special permission from NASCAR to use foil numbers, something that is normally outlawed. Like many other teams, it is using its current sponsor with an old paint scheme of another sponsor to commemorate the 1996 car driven by David Pearson.I wish our car was like this every week, Blaney said. I think it is really cool. Everyone appreciates history.Last year, Blaney had a car that had old Wood Brothers photos on it, something that attracted many onlookers but something felt a little bit off.We did a mosaic of all Wood Brothers pictures, which was really neat, Blaney said. But it was not a genuine car. Its nice to be able to pick a year out, a driver and a car. It was really special to them.Most teams, if they cant get the sponsor from days of old, try to honor a point in their history or something that they admire from the sports past.Dale Earnhardt Jr. wanted to run the gray ghost scheme of Buddy Baker, and was able to recreate it by changing some of the Nationwide colors.Richard Childress Racing will recreate a scheme used by Ricky Rudd in the first car that won a race at RCR.Carl Edwards will do a tribute to Stewart -- the driver is retiring from Sprint Cup racing after this year after a Cup career that started at JGR -- with a scheme that looks like the one he drove at JGR. The colors are the only thing thats the same -- the sponsor and the number are different.Teams can opt to go with colors of old sponsors but pair them with new ones. Tommy Baldwin Racings No. 7 car will carry an orange-and-brown look that will resemble Hooters colors, but the company is with a team that has a much better performance record.Trevor Bayne is using the old No. 6 paint scheme of Mark Martin. Casey Mears is going to draw a lot of eyes with a paint scheme that will stir memories of Smokey Yunick. Jeffrey Earnhardt has blue and gold colors to honor his grandfather, Dale Earnhardt Sr.Landon Cassill has J.D. McDuffies old sponsor -- Rumple Furniture Co. -- on his car.He was just an old-school, blue-collar racer who made the most of what he had and did most of the work himself, Cassill said. And even though he didnt have all the resources that the bigger teams had, he had a lot of success on track. We identify with that kind of mentality.And the hope is that fans identify with these cars, too.One thing is for sure -- drivers could have a hard time identifying who is driving them.You dont know whose car you are racing around. ... When youre on the track in practice, you have to kind of learn who is who, Stewart said.Its something we all looking forward to and seeing what each others cars look like. ' ' '
