LAHAINA, Hawaii -- Jim Boeheim and Syracuse remained perfect in Maui. C.J. Fair scored 14 of his 24 points in the second half and No. 8 Syracuse beat No. 18 Baylor 74-67 on Wednesday night for the title. The Orange (7-0) delivered three wins in three days, taking control against Baylor midway through the first half and limiting the Bears hopes of a comeback. Syracuse beat Minnesota on Monday and California on Tuesday, improving to 9-0 all-time at Maui. The Orange also won the tournament in 1990 and 1998. "And guess what -- Im never coming back," said Boeheim jokingly after the game in a television interview. He later told reporters: "The next time I come to Maui I will have my golf clubs." Fair won the tournaments MVP, taking home a wooden trophy shaped like a basketball. After the game, he posed for photos with several fans with the hardware before walking off the floor. "Im still in the moment, so Im good to go," Fair said. "Tomorrow at practice, itll hit me then." Syracuse stopped would-be runs by Baylor several times. The loss snapped Baylors 11-game winning streak -- longest in the nation -- dating back to last seasons NIT championship run. "I thought we left here becoming a better team," Baylor coach Scott Drew said. "Obviously theres not much time to work on anything but Im pleased with our players, how they battled." Baylor had a 10-2 run to make it 68-62 with Cory Jefferson dunking an alley-oop pass, but Fair responded immediately with a jumper with just over two minutes left. Earlier, Baylor pulled to within 4 points when Jefferson tipped in a missed shot by Kenny Chery, but Syracuse answered with a 10-point run capped by a steal by Trevor Cooney that led to a fast break and a layup for Tyler Ennis to make it 66-52 with just over five minutes left. Jerami Grant scored 19 points and also made the events all-tournament team. Cooney and Ennis scored 11 points each. Syracuse shot just under 51 per cent, hanging on in the second half after shooting 57.1 per cent before halftime. Baylor outscored Syracuse by 1 point in the second half. "We are figuring out how to make plays. Three nights in a row against good teams -- this was a really good tournament for us," Boeheim said. Jefferson led Baylor (6-1) with 15 points. Brady Heslip and Chery had 12 points each. "There is always room for improvement win or lose no matter what happens," Jefferson said. "Were just going to go back, watch film of the games, over this whole tournament. Look at the things we did wrong and improve it." Syracuse jumped to a 10-2 lead on 3-pointers by Fair and Ennis and a jumper from Cooney. Baylor quickly closed the gap and took a 16-14 lead on Brady Heslips 3-pointer. Fair later scored five straight points to give Syracuse its first double-digit lead of the night midway through the first half. First, he hit a 3 from the left corner. He then thought about shooting a long jumper the next possession, but instead pulled the ball down and drove to the basket, laying it in left-handed. Randy Foye Jersey .
