SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) Judah Mintz scored a career-high 33 points, Chris Bell added 20 points, with six 3-pointers, and Syracuse dominated the second half in beating LSU 80-57 on Tuesday night in the ACC/SEC Challenge.

Mintz scored Syracuse’s opening 12 points of the second half to make it 45-34. Bell started a 19-3 run with three 3-pointers, and he capped it with another 3-pointer for a 66-42 lead.

Mintz was 9 of 16 from the field and 13 of 15 at the free-throw line for Syracuse (5-22). Bell was 6 of 10 from distance to finish five points shy of matching his career-high of 25 points. Justin Taylor had six points, seven rebounds and five assists.

Mintz scored 17 first-half points, including a fast-break dunk with 34.3 seconds left, and the rest of his teammates had 16 as Syracuse led 33-28 at the break. The Orange made 14 of 15 free throws in the first half compared to LSU's five attempts. The Tigers were 1 of 12 from 3-point range and turned it over 10 times.

LSU (4-3) has lost 13th straight games on the road.

Jordan Wright had 15 points and seven rebounds, and Jalen Reed added 14 points and 11 boards for LSU. Will Baker, averaging a team-leading 16.3 points, was held to three points on 1-of-5 shooting.

The Tigers played Syracuse for the first time since a 1985 trip to the now Carrier Dome, which the Orange won 76-64.
