Playing for the first time since a top assistant coach was accused of sexual abuse, No. 5 Syracuse romped to a 92-47 win over Colgate in the N.I.T. Season Tip-Off Saturday. It was business as usual for the host Orange (4-0) on the court, even as the program was trying to come to grips with molestation allegations against the assistant Bernie Fine. Syracuse placed Fine on administrative leave “in light of the new allegations” that he molested two former ball boys for years. Fine has dismissed the allegations as “patently false.” Dion Waiters scored 16 points and James Southerland 14 for Syracuse in its 46th straight win against Colgate (1-2) dating to 1962.

Louisville 69, Butler 53: Kyle Kuric hit two of his three 3-pointers in the final five minutes, finishing with 17 points for No. 8 Louisville (3-0), the highest-ranked team to visit Indianapolis's Hinkle Fieldhouse since No. 5 North Carolina in 1992.
