Syracuse cruises in hoops opener

November 14, 2011 Jim Stechschulte

Syracuse opened their basketball season on Saturday by cruising to a 78-53 victory over Fordham at the Carrier Dome. The Orange (1-0) trailed for less than a minute in the early goings before quickly gaining control of the Rams (0-1).

Shortly after being introduced O’Neal lifted SU Chancellor Nancy Cantor over his head. He then closed his halftime remarks by telling the 22,906 on hand that “Georgetown sucks!” which brough the crowd into a fevered pitch.

Syracuse basketball 2011-12 preview: Orange has depth, talent

November 12, 2011 Jim Stechschulte

In Jim Boeheim’s previous 35 seasons as the head coach at Syracuse University, he has undoubtedly had many talented rosters with which to work. The 2011-2012 team is one of them.

Why Syracuse won’t make the Final Four

November 10, 2011 Mark Porter

When it comes to this season, you can call me Lord Buzz Killington, the Duke of Negativity. I don’t want to ruin everyone’s fun, and I’m not one of the forever negative commenters you see on the Syracuse message boards. Preseason expectations are great. But we shouldn’t get overly excited about this season. Syracuse has glaring weaknesses that could kill the dreams of a Big East title, not to mention Final Four aspirations.

Melo looks ready for Syracuse

November 9, 2011 Matt Goodman

With the rest of last year’s team back plus three prized recruits Syracuse has the depth, talent, and experience to succeed. The new-look Fab Melo could be the 7-foot piece that holds it all together. The encouraging thought emerging from the preseason for the Orange is that he looks ready, willing and able to be that piece.

Things to watch for as Syracuse takes on St. Rose

November 8, 2011 Jeff Irvine

There is little about the success of the 2011-2012 Orange that will be revealed in tonight’s exhibition game against St. Rose. The Post Standard reported yesterday that several of SU’s walk-ons could start for the D-II Golden Knights. That’s not to say Syracuse players can take them lightly, however. St. Rose kept a 2007 exhibition match with the Orange to single digits, and veterans of the 2009-2010 Orange can attest to the dangers of overlooking D-II opponents. Nonetheless, the game you see tonight will not resemble Saturday’s game against Fordham – let alone games in the heart of the Big East schedule or March.

Since we last saw the Syracuse basketball team getting ousted by Marquette in the NCAA Tournament, a few things have taken place. Rival UConn took home the NCAA Championship. Syracuse football is inching closer to another bowl berth. And, oh yeah…something about an upcoming move for Orange athletics, leaving behind the Big East for the ACC.
