Cleveland State stuns 'Cuse

Two nights after disposing of a David Devezin-less Marist team, 66-47, Cleveland State went to the Carrier Dome and shocked the No. 11 Syracuse Orange.
Even more shocking than the result was the fashion in which it was accomplished. Cedric Jackson buried a shot from well beyond half-court to send Syracuse on its way to its first loss of the season. Cleveland State head coach Gary Waters did not even see the miracle heave that clinched a 72-69 win for his team. According to Waters, he had already turned to his assistants to prepare for overtime. Ironically, Jackson is the same player that drained a 22-foot buzzer-beater in the first half against Marist. Jackson's three-pointer gave the Vikings a 32-22 lead heading into halftime. For those that missed it, enjoy:
