Syracuse ready to meet expectations

October 17, 2011 Wes Cheng

“Obviously we are excited,” Boeheim said. “We have a good group of veteran guys and I think they have worked hard in the fall. I think they understand what has to get done.”

Orange Watch Friday: Familiar Final Four Trip on the Horizon?

October 14, 2011 Brad Bierman

It may be the newly-named Mercedes-Benz Superdome where the SU football team won its fourth game of the season as the clock struck zero last Saturday night against Tulane, but to most ‘Cuse fans it will always be the Louisiana Superdome, or simply the Superdome, a venue that’s second to none when it comes to naming the site that has hosted the most number of meaningful SU football and basketball games played outside the city of Syracuse.

Here are my grades for the 2010-11 Syracuse basketball team.

Syracuse overachieved this year

March 29, 2011 Mark Porter

Well, another year in which Syracuse exits the postseason far earlier than expected. Most years, I would be upset about it, ranting and raving away about Boehiem’s tournament failures. I can’t bring myself to do it this year.

A look back at the 2010-11 SU basketball season

Syracuse’s loss to Marquette in the third round of the NCAA tournament marked the second straight year the Orange lost in its white uniforms. But, that isn’t to say that the season didn’t have its moments.

Is next season the second-to-last of the Boeheim Era?

March 26, 2011 Brad Bierman

The end of the most glorious era in Syracuse basketball history is closer than you think.

More great NCAA tournament games on the horizon?

March 14, 2011 Brad Bierman

SU will begin with a weekend trip to Cleveland to face an Indiana State team that finished third in the Missouri Valley Conference season and then won the conference tournament on its home court in the championship game against Missouri State.

Week in review (2/20): Boeheim’s other rants

February 20, 2011 Wes Cheng

In the past week, there has been a lot made out of Jim Boeheim’s rant following Monday’s 63-52 win over West Virginia. But as my friend and colleague Matt Dagostino pointed out in his column earlier in the week, “as Boeheim rants are concerned, that was pretty mild.”

Boeheim made valid point, but went overboard

February 17, 2011 Matt Dagostino

First of all, as far as Boeheim rants are concerned, that was pretty mild. I’ve been in that room for some awkward press conferences that felt more like lecture halls or reminded me of being grounded by my father. Monday was not one of those press conferences.

Just like season – good, not great

February 15, 2011 Robbie Gillies

After Syracuse’s 63-52 victory over West Virginia, Jim Boeheim ripped into members of the media for being too narrow-minded when it came to the Orange. He believes the media has harped on the team’s recent woes and completely forgotten about the early season success. He believes they need to step back and look at the season as a whole and realize the Orange are right where most expected them to be, if not slightly exceeding expectations. Although I do believe he was a little too harsh (especially on the Post-Standard), his point of stepping back and looking at the big picture is sound advice. Syracuse is now 21-6, 8-6 in the Big East and has lost four of its losses have come to top 15 teams. This team is very good but not great. And that’s a perfect way to describe how they played against West Virginia – very good but not great.
