The Cuse wins its first Big East tournament game in easy fashion - AFTER a near melee in the second half that saw four technical fouls and one flagrant foul called on back to back possessions.  At the time, Syracuse only led by 2 and had trailed early in the 2nd half as Seton Hall came out on fire,...

Syracuse gets its first Big East win over a ranked opponent in its last regular season game, an overtime victory at #15 Marquette on their senior night.  The win clinches the #6 seed for the Cuse thanks to Providence's loss on Thursday, giving us a 7 pm game on Wednesday in the 2nd round of the Big...

Watch this clip.  This happened in the midst of a first half in which Rutgers outscored Syracuse -- in fact, this dunk closed the score to 20-19, which would be the half time score.  The Orange then outscored Rutgers 51-20 in the second half to cruise to the victory, but just watch this dunk.  Wo...

Recovering strongly from a disappointing loss at Georgetown on Wednesday (a game they were never really in), Syracuse returned home to the snow of upstate New York and put the hurt on a talented Notre Dame squad that had dominated the Orange in recent years.  The offense was the obvious strength in...

I've always been fascinated by sports management.  As a fan of specific teams, my enjoyment of a sport over months and even years is affected greatly by who is running the team - the president or owner, the general manager, the manager or coach on the field.  The players themselves are most import...

Eric Devendorf was suspended for the game (and from the school).  Jonny Flynn had an injured hip and was questionable to play.  Syracuse had lost a game at home to Cleveland State on the shot heard round the world.  They were playing their 4th game in 8 days (with another scheduled for Monday). ...

8-0.  Ranked 13th in the nation after being unranked coming into the season.  In the top 5 in very early RPI rankings.  Looking very likely to end the 2-year NCAA absence and challenge for the Big East title.  And then it all turns to shit when this news comes across the wire: A Syracuse Univers...

The Syracuse Orange took a quick 5-2 lead against Kansas on Tuesday night and then did nothing for the next thirty minutes against the defending national champions.  They looked lethargic, their 2-3 zone was giving up easy layups and wide open 3-pointers, and the Jayhawks gathered a 13-point lead w...

In one of the most exciting comebacks I've ever seen, the Syracuse Orange returned from a 13 point deficit late in the 2nd half to beat #23 Kansas, 89-81 in OT.  Jonny Flynn was the MVP of the tournament and player of the game, sending the game to OT with a 3-pointer to tie it with 6 seconds left.Â...

The Syracuse Orange start off the season 4-0 and gain a big win over a ranked opponent in a game that featured a ton of scoring, not a lot of defense, and a little too much Dickie V. for this viewer's interest, but was overall a solid effort for the Cuse in victory.  The game was close at halftime ...
