Derek Thompson had a game-high 18 points to lead the Eagles (5-2) and hit three 3-pointers.

The Eagles led by as many as seven as Syracuse opened the game 2-for-12 from the floor before the Orange used a 27-5 run during the final 9:33 of the first half to take a 35-17 lead into halftime. James Southerland's jumper gave Syracuse its first lead at 14-12 with 8:13 left and Eastern Michigan didn't have a field goal in the final seven minutes of the first half.

Syracuse used its full-court press to push the game's tempo and force 23 turnovers.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Jerami Grant, a freshman, also finished with a career-high 11 points after making all four of his shots. ... Syracuse extends the nation's longest home winning streak to 26 and has won 48 consecutive regular-season non-conference games ... Syracuse won last year's meeting by the same score.
