I’ve seen the (wishful) crystal ball of SU’s home basketball facility one day down the road when the 32-year-old Carrier Dome becomes obsolete and outdated.
On route to the last losing season in SU basketball’s glorious almost-50-year run since Dave Bing set foot on campus, the 1968-69 squad had not one, but two five-game losing streaks. In fact, the team lost six straight on route to a 9-16 finish.
A little bit of this and that with an Orange tint as we are warmed up in a cold winter by a top five basketball team prior to its regular season showdown with conference nemesis Pittsburgh.
He may have not imagined that long of a career, but coming off his second 30-win season of the 2000s, it’s looking likely that Boeheim will glide past legendary coach Adolf Rupp’s numbers in less than 41 years.
There was so much gained from SU’s performance in the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl that wasn’t evident from the final digits that illuminated loudly on the state-of-the-art Yankee Stadium scoreboards.
