EJ Farmer recorded a career-best 26 points for the Penguins (1-2), while Nico Galette pitched in 21 points and seven rebounds and Ty Harper notched 17 points and seven rebounds.

The Penguins' Juwan Maxey made two 3-pointers to cut the deficit to two. Jaquan Carlos missed two foul shots for Syracuse, setting up Harper's game-tying free throws with seven seconds to play.

After the furious rally by Youngstown State, Elijah Moore hit a clutch 3-pointer to give Syracuse a two-point lead early in double overtime. Lampkin then took over with three buckets in a stretch of 1 1/2 minutes, helping the hosts take a 95-91 lead with just over two minutes left.

Starling's layup with 1:11 to go created a 98-93 lead, and the Orange made their free throws down the stretch.

The game was tied at 64 when Galette drained a 3-pointer with 2:38 remaining in regulation. Lampkin and Freeman answered with buckets for the Orange, however, as Syracuse slipped ahead 68-67 with two minutes left.

Farmer, meanwhile, was doing everything he could on the other end. He made a jumper on the Penguins' next trip and added two foul shots shortly thereafter to keep the visitors ahead 71-70 with 56 seconds to play in the second half.

Galette and Starling traded big shots down the stretch in regulation, with Galette converting a layup with 14 seconds remaining and Starling tying it up with his jumper six seconds later, sending the game to overtime.
