Rocked Like a Hurricane: Syracuse Collapses Against Miami (Again) 82-78
The. Same. Stinking. Game. Really, it almost felt like we were watching a carbon copy of both of Syracuse’s battles with Miami last season. The Orange held a double-digit lead in the second half thanks to a combination of hot shooting and energy. The shooting spark went away, but that’s ok as long as the…

Is Tonight The Most Important Game Left on the Schedule?
Yes. You would not be able to find a more significant win on the remainder of Syracuse’s schedule than tonight’s showdown in Coral Gables against 17th-ranked Miami.

Rocked Like a Hurricane: Syracuse Beats Miami 83-57 as Girard, Richmond Shine
Entering with back-to back losses, and three in their last four games, it was hard to forecast Syracuse‚Äôs fate against a sneaky-tough Miami team.

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.

Syracuse still hasn’t…

Mark Richt is Being Selfish and Hypocritical with Gus Edwards’ Transfer
Look, let’s be real. Gus Edwards is not likely to be the difference between Syracuse having a good season versus a bad one. In three seasons with Miami, he’s totaled less than 1,000 yards. If Edwards came in and gave the Orange 400 yards rushing in ’17, it would be his career high. Edwards injuries…

How Is the ACC Faring in Nonconference Play?
Jim Boeheim has provided several memorable quotes during his four-plus-decade tenure as head coach of the Syracuse men‚Äôs basketball team (‚Äúdumb question,‚Äù most recently), but none quite as famous as one from the late Dennis Green: ‚ÄúThey are who we thought they were!‚Äù The football coach was referring to the 2006 Chicago Bears, who had…
