Scoop provides leadership, Georgetown misses leader

February 27, 2011 Robbie Gillies

This was about the leadership of two guards. One who has drawn the praise and frustration from all Syracuse fans and another who had to celebrate his Senior Day from the sidelines.

Early in the season, Scoop Jardine saved Syracuse from a number of losses but he has also made some of the most boneheaded decisions at the worst possible times. He’s made so many of these mistakes that fans have called these decisions by his name. They are “Scoopid” plays and it’s just “Scoop being Scoop.”

February 24, 2011 Mark Porter

On Saturday, the District of Columbia welcomes the Orange faithful to continue one of the greatest rivalries in college basketball. From that fateful February night in 1980 where John Thompson Jr. declared Manley Field House closed, this rivalry has taken many dramatic twists and turns. However, when you examine the two schools, you see one staying constant and another in flux.

Syracuse is good, not great

February 10, 2011 Mike Lacett

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.
