SYRACUSE, N.Y. – C.J. Fair had 18 points and 10 rebounds, freshman Jerami Grant scored a season-high 14 points, and No. 9 Syracuse beat No. 25 Notre Dame, 63-47, on Monday night to snap a two-game losing streak that had dropped the Orange three spots in the rankings.

Syracuse (19-3 overall, 7-2 Big East) was coming off consecutive road losses against Villanova and Pittsburgh and has only three conference losses in its past 32 Big East games. The Orange have won a school-record 36 straight games at home, the longest active streak in Division I. Notre Dame (18-5, 6-4) had won three straight.

It was the first meeting between the teams since the Irish handed Syracuse its only conference loss last season, 67-58 at Purcell Pavilion in January 2012. The Orange, unbeaten at the time and ranked No. 1, were missing shot-blocking, 7-foot center Fab Melo in that game because of an academic issue, and Monday night senior James Southerland, the team’s most consistent outside threat and third-leading scorer, missed his sixth straight game because of an eligibility matter related to academics. Southerland had 15 points in the loss to the Irish last year.
