Syracuse overachieved this year

March 29, 2011 Mark Porter

Well, another year in which Syracuse exits the postseason far earlier than expected. Most years, I would be upset about it, ranting and raving away about Boehiem’s tournament failures. I can’t bring myself to do it this year.

The Dag Bag – The blown over-and-back call

March 24, 2011 Wes Cheng

Yes, the official blew the call, but so did Scoop Jardine. When the pass sailed wide, Jardine tried to toe the halfcourt line, and you only do that if you think you’re about to be called for over-and-back. I can’t put myself in the place of an official, but I would think that how Scoop reacted when the play happened would only draw the official’s attention to it. It was also a bad pass from Dion. It’s easy to put the blame on the officials, but without Dion and Scoop’s mistakes, it never becomes a factor. The Orange can’t control the officials, but they can control what they do on the court.

Late turnover dooms Orange

March 21, 2011 Wes Cheng

Waiters’ in-bounds pass sailed wide, and Jardine tried to stop the ball from going into the backcourt. While it was unclear whether Jardine stepped behind the line with the ball in his possession, he was whistled for over-and-back.

Scoop provides leadership, Georgetown misses leader

February 27, 2011 Robbie Gillies

This was about the leadership of two guards. One who has drawn the praise and frustration from all Syracuse fans and another who had to celebrate his Senior Day from the sidelines.

Early in the season, Scoop Jardine saved Syracuse from a number of losses but he has also made some of the most boneheaded decisions at the worst possible times. He’s made so many of these mistakes that fans have called these decisions by his name. They are “Scoopid” plays and it’s just “Scoop being Scoop.”
