College basketball is a 40-minute game, and Syracuse Men’s Basketball has learned that the hard way multiple times in the past few weeks.

The Bell Has Been Rung: Syracuse Takes Down Notre Dame 78-73
Let’s take you down the timeline that wasn’t first. Last season, Syracuse beat Florida State on the road in its first conference game in early December.

Starting 6-0 Has Hurt Syracuse More Than It’s Helped
After a blistering, undefeated start that had fans and media alike drawing comparisons to 1987, it was a good time to be a Syracuse football fan. Now, after three straight losses, the Orange are showing their true colors. An overachiever who is talent-deficient across the roster. Raising the expectations of people after a strong start…

Syracuse vs. Notre Dame: Crystal Ball Predictions
ETHAN (7-0): Syracuse 24, Notre Dame 20 It’s another sold out crowd in the Dome, and SU’s defense will be the best unit in this game. Drew Pyne has never played in an atmosphere like he will this weekend, and if Syracuse’s defense can force just one or two turnovers, they’ll have a very good…

Watching a top 30 recruit from Baldwinsville choose another ACC school was a tough pill to swallow this week.

Syracuse Stays in the Mix for Maliq Brown
Yesterday was a tough result for SU as Syracuse native and four-star JJ Starling picked another ACC program nearly 600 miles away. It proved that allegiance based off proximity is a dying tactic in recruitment. But to highlight the bad is to overlook the good. Although the buzz continues to surround the now-Notre Dame point…

JJ Starling Chooses Notre Dame, What’s Next for Syracuse?
JJ Starling knew how to build the drama, whether it was intentional or not.

Don’t Be Fooled, Peter Carey Had Interest From These High Major Programs
There may be a misleading narrative out there that new Syracuse commit Peter Carey had no other elite schools interested. The 7-foot center from Massachusetts seemed to only have one other high-major offer from Rutgers, and then scholarships from A-10 schools and smaller. Carey never had a major profile on the recruiting sites, so when…

The Walls Are Closing in on Desko, SU Lax After Notre Dame Humiliation
There’s not much good news around Syracuse lacrosse. In fact, you could argue this is one of the low points in the program’s incredibly proud history. A domestic incident threatens to rip apart the team, the season, and invite national scrutiny. The defense is historically poor. The program won’t allow player interviews. Thank goodness for…

Syracuse Basketball has Unique Chance to Rewrite Wrongs
Syracuse basketball just delivered a shocking home loss to the reigning champion Virginia Cavaliers. In SU‚Äôs first ACC game of the year ‚Äì a home matchup against UVA ‚Äì an anemic Orange offense totaled a paltry 34 points.

The Ups and Downs of Tommy DeVito
After Eric Dungey went down in the first quarter against Notre Dame, Tommy DeVito stepped in and faced his toughest test yet.

Syracuse Forward Tyler Lydon’s Play Is the Opposite of a Silver Lining

Another day, another lethargic effort by Syracuse. The game was never in doubt, as Syracuse’s only lead was on the first bucket of the game. Notre Dame wins 84-66, which is the biggest margin of victory by the Irish over SU since ’98. SU was still in the game after halftime, but a horrendous first…

Take one look at the box score, and it‚Äôs easy to blame the Syracuse defense for the team‚Äôs 50-33 loss to Notre Dame on Saturday. The Orange allowed the Irish to pile up 654 yards, and if the game had remained competitive down the stretch, the Golden Domers would have put an even bigger number…

Situation Couldn’t Shape Up Better for a Syracuse Upset
Could Syracuse be getting Notre Dame at exactly the right time?
