Syracuse basketball transfer Elijah Hughes cut out lava cakes and is ready to erupt

Syracuse, N.Y. -- The chocolate lava cakes from Domino's are crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside and simply decadent throughout.

And Elijah Hughes loved them.

"My favorite,'' Hughes said. "Domino's lava cake. That was my go-to. Late at night, couldn't sleep, call Domino's and get a lava cake.''

But this past year, Hughes steered away from his guilty pleasure.

While sitting out the 2017-18 season following his transfer from East Carolina University to Syracuse University, Hughes worked on his body as much as he did his game.
