Jim Boeheim moved into a tie for second place on the list of winningest Division I men’s basketball coaches with Bob Knight courtesy of Syracuse’s 96-62 romp over Central Connecticut State at the Carrier Dome on Monday.
The last time Kevin Boyle and Dakari Johnson were involved in a basketball game in the state of New Jersey, they lost the mythical national championship to coach Bob Hurley and arch-rival St. Anthony in March 2011.
The passing game climaxed with the emergence of Alec Lemon and the running game was strong due to the Gulley-Smith tandem in the backfield that tore up West Virginia in the Pinstripe Bowl.
