Jackson’s career ends on a sour note

March 22, 2011 Wes Cheng

Syracuse’s lone senior, and best interior player struggled through a seven point, four rebound performance as the Orange was ousted from the NCAA tournament by Big East rival Marquette, 66-62. It was Syracuse’s second-straight early exit and left Jackson frustrated afterward.

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.

Orange will face Marquette (again)

March 20, 2011 Wes Cheng

The last (and only) time Syracuse was in this position, the year was 1987 and Sherman Douglas was throwing alley-oops to Rony Seikaly. That year, the Orangemen advanced to the national title game to play the Indiana Hoosiers. But before SU even got there, it defeated Providence for the third time that season in the national semifinals game. That is to say, Syracuse met another Big East foe in the NCAA tournament.

Fair’s shot sinks Sycamores

March 20, 2011 Wes Cheng

Syracuse hit 23 shots from the field during Friday’s 77-60 win over Indiana State in the second round of the NCAA tournament. But none was bigger than the shot CJ Fair hit with 15:41 left in the second half.

Not particularly impressive, but a win nonetheless

March 19, 2011 Robbie Gillies

This was a game Syracuse should have dominated and in many ways they did, leading for the final 38 minutes. But the Orange could never quite pull away from the scrappy Sycamores until late in the game. No win in the NCAA Tournament can be discredited but the Orange will need to play with a lot harder to advance any further.
