Do SU Fans Really Have To Care About The NIT?
A little while ago, our very own¬†Logan Grossman told you why you should still care about Syracuse basketball even though the Orange missed the NCAA Tournament and is headed to the NIT.¬†Nothing Logan said is wrong, but I imagine much of Orange Nation is still having a hard time getting in the mood for some…

Where Do The “Experts” Say Syracuse Stands?
By now, Syracuse has gotten comfortable playing on the bubble. When Syracuse’s season seemed to be over the Orange won five in a row.

Why Syracuse Is In The Tournament No Matter What
In what may end up being even a bigger roller coaster of a season than last year, Syracuse lost to No. 7 Louisville in a lopsided 88-68 game at the Yum! Center Saturday. The Orange has been flirting with the bubble ever since its five-game winning streak midseason, and as the season nears an end…

Despite Loss To Pitt, Lunardi Still Has Orange In NCAA Tournament
Apparently, five wins in a row can cover up the mistakes made in Syracuse’s loss to Pitt over the weekend. After the Orange’s win streak was snapped by Pittsburgh (who was 2-9 in conference play going into the game), much of Orange Nation thought the experts would stick Syracuse back on the outside looking in…

Syracuse Upsets No. 9 Virginia; Boeheim Gets Win No. 1000
According to the NCAA, Jim Boeheim won his 899th game when Syracuse pulled off a 66-62 upset over No. 9 Virginia Saturday.

Comparing Dino Babers’ First Class To Scott Shafer’s
You can use a lot of words to describe Scott Shafer’s stint as Syracuse’s head football coach, but long is not one of them. Shafer only got three years as a head coach in college football before SU gave him the can, which means most of the players in his first full recruiting class are…

Should We Have Seen John Gillon Coming?
When John Gillon and Andrew White III both announced they would use their final year of eligibility at Syracuse, the Orange’s rotation got crowded.

Finding Ten Conference Wins For Syracuse Basketball
Rick Pitino remembers the good’ ole days of the Old Big East. When his Louisville Cardinals won the league in 2011 the Big East set a record with 11 bids in the NCAA Tournament, but Pitino thinks this year might be the one to break that record. It’s easy to speculate when you’re coaching a…

It’s A Numbers Game: How Did Syracuse’s Non-Con Performance Stack Up With The Rest Of The ACC?
To start this post as every post on this website has started for the past week, Syracuse basketball is not playing well. Jim Boeheim once called this team one of the best he’s ever had, but the Orange will now need a dominant performance in the ACC if it wants an at-large bid to the…

Syracuse Basketball: Frank Howard Needs To Step Up
Syracuse basketball‚Äôs performance in the nonconference this season has many without hope and even more asking what has gone wrong. At 7-5, it will take an extraordinary turnaround to get the Orange into the NCAA Tournament, and the Orange will have to play better than it has in any of its performances this season against…

It’s A Numbers Game: Is Chris Mullin The New Jamie Dixon?
In the first half of Syracuse’s game against St. John’s Wednesday, I tweeted this out: At the time, it was a joke. But after the Orange went on to lose by 33 to the Red Storm, it’s a question worth asking. Chris Mullin is now 2-0 against Jim Boeheim and his 2-3 zone, and this…

It’s Time To Panic. St. John’s Blows Out Syracuse, 93-60
Okay, Syracuse fans. Now is the time to panic. I am an optimist. A couple decades as a Cubs fan has taught me how to stay positive through the worst of times, but Syracuse’s game against St. John’s Wednesday tested my endurance. I tried very, very hard to find a positive to take away from…

Syracuse LB Alryk Perry Transfers To Valdosta State
Syracuse football has lost yet another player to graduate transfer this offseason. Alryk Perry has announced he will attend Valdosta State for his final year of eligibility.

Georgetown Beats Syracuse In Its Return To The Carrier Dome
Syracuse’s game against Georgetown Saturday afternoon had been circled on the calendar since it had been announced, but it turned out to mean even more than the SU faithful had expected.

On Saturday, Georgetown makes its first visit to the Carrier Dome since Syracuse left the Big East in 2013.

It’s A Numbers Game: What Syracuse Needs To Focus On Against BU
This isn’t what was supposed to happen. When Syracuse basketball entered its 2016-2017 season, The Orange wasn’t supposed to fail its first three real tests of the season.

What To Look For During Syracuse-IUP
The first exhibition of the Syracuse basketball season is upon us, and its sure to be boring as hell.

The Babers Effect: Whose Numbers Have Improved The Most Under The Orange’s New Coach?
If it was supposed to be a secret, it wasn’t very well kept in the months leading up to the Syracuse football season: Dino Babers can run an offense. When he was first hired, he seemed too good to be true. This up-and-coming coach can turn even the worst of offenses into powerhouses… and he’s…
