Syracuse’s freshmen maturing

Syracuse’s freshmen step up in loss to Georgetown.

It’s a reality that isn’t easy to accept, but it is what it is. In case we didn’t realize this after a four-game losing streak, we must realize it now. Syracuse is a good basketball team. Let me repeat: A good basketball team. In the end, it will have brought cheer to the Carrier Dome crowds, but not championships.

Orange defense folds in final minutes

This one stings. This one stings worse than any other loss this season. It’s not just because it was to Georgetown. It’s not just because it’s a home loss (3rd in a row). It’s not just because the loss has huge ramifications in Big East standings. It’s because the Orange played a great basketball game for the first 35 minutes and then completely fell apart. Syracuse led 53-49 with 5:45 remaining before the Hoyas closed out the game on a 15-3 run to post their first win in the Carrier Dome since 2002.

When Syracuse takes the floor tonight against Georgetown, it won’t just be another chapter in this storied rivalry. It won’t just be another Big East match-up between top 15 opponents.

ESPN’s Fraschilla breaks down Syracuse-Georgetown rivalry

February 7, 2011 Wes Cheng

Fraschilla, along with John Saunders will be at the Carrier Dome on Feb. 9 at 7:00 p.m. to call the Syracuse vs. Georgetown game as part of ESPN’s Rivalry Week. He recently spoke with me to give his take of the Syracuse-Georgetown rivalry.

An average performance for the Orange

February 5, 2011 Robbie Gillies

One word came to mind while watching Syracuse play South Florida: Average. This isn’t meant to be an insult. Syracuse beat South Florida, 72-49 and they did it by playing an average game. They had similar efforts against Pitt and Villanova but needed more than that to beat those teams. They didn’t need more than an average outing to crush the Bulls.
