SNY college basketball analyst Tim Welsh joins us to chat about Jim Boeheim’s upcoming milestone, Michael Carter-Williams’ ceiling and conference realignment.
Here are some numbers: 31, 20, 36, 36, 31, 52. No, those are not the numbers of my losing Powerball ticket. Those would be the margins of victory in six of Syracuse’s eight contests thus far.
Former Providence head coach and current SNY and ESPN college basketball analyst Tim Welsh calls in to talk Jim Boeheim approaching 900 wins and conference realignment.
Eight games into the season, the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team is currently ranked fourth in both polls, and has once again shown that it has what it takes to be #1.
This morning, sources within the Big East basketball contingent told ESPN that the Catholic basketball schools may break off into their own league, dissolving the conference they once built.
As Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim draws ever closer to his milestone 900th victory, there’s been widespread discussion about where he ranks amongst the all-time great college basketball coaches.
For the second straight game, Fair notched a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. He had a nifty alley-oop from Brandon Triche for a basket plus a foul as he spun in the air to avoid Stephen Spinella.
Carter-Williams had 15 points and a career-high 16 assists, C.J. Fair had 14 points and 10 rebounds, the second straight double-double for both players, and No. 4 Syracuse beat Monmouth (N.J.) 108-56 on Saturday night.
Following a slow start when it let Monmouth hang around, the Orange kicked it up a notch and went into the highest gear toward the end of the first half, turning a tight game into a blowout.
