Cooley leads Irish upset of No. Jan 21 09:40 PM US/Eastern (AP) - Jack Cooley scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds Saturday night as Notre Dame upset No. 1 Syracuse 67-58 and handed the Orange their first loss after 20 straight victories. Fans stormed the court after the Irish's rousing victory. It was the eighth time Notre Dame has beaten a No. 1 team - that ties for fourth-most all-time, with North Carolina having the most with 12. The Orange (20-1, 7-1) played without starting center Fab Melo, who did not make the trip and will not play Monday against Cincinnati. Without Melo in the middle, the 6-foot-9, 248-pound Cooley was a major force for Notre Dame (12-8, 4-3) and the Irish won the rebound battle 38-25.
