It’s Unfair to Grade Mike Hopkins
Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins was the head coach for 9 games. And that is about the only true read you can get on the tenure of Mike Hopkins. Yes, he was the head coach, but it was in name only. Everyone knew that Jim Boeheim was coming back, and Hop had to be able to…

Could Syracuse Expect A Bo Ryan-like Exit from Jim Boeheim
Don‚Äôt lie and say you haven‚Äôt thought about it. And yes, this scenario was far more likely before Mike Hopkins was named ‚ÄúHead Coach Designate.‚Äù But let‚Äôs not pretend this isn‚Äôt something Jim Boeheim wouldn‚Äôt pull off. Maybe he doesn‚Äôt leave during the middle of the season, but he could retire at an unexpected time.…

Syracuse made a hard charge at it, but couldn‚Äôt come all the way back. The Orange didn‚Äôt lead much in the game, and fell behind by double digits in the middle of the second half before turning on the defensive intensity and making a bit of a run. Even then however, the Orange couldn‚Äôt cut…

Georgetown takes the latest round from Syracuse
A tough one to swallow for the Orange as Georgetown out physical-ed the Orange all day long and won 79-72. Tyler Roberson looked at times to be the best player on the court for either side, but disappeared for the early portion of the second half as he worked himself into foul trouble late in…

It’s Time to Talk Syracuse-Georgetown
It‚Äôs the game every Syracuse fan was waiting for. Ever since Syracuse beat Georgetown at the Garden to advance to the Big East Tournament Final, we wondered, when will these two teams play again.

Tyler Lydon is the Real Deal
Ok, Ok, he has played just 4 games in college. But the true freshman Tyler Lydon is looking the part of a legit big man that can give the Orange some big time minutes. Sure, Lydon is still probably a little thin both physically and in experience. But he is also the best big man…

Jim Boeheim Still Waiting On NCAA
Syracuse basketball opens its regular season two weeks from tomorrow, and the exhibition slate starts on Monday night.

Michael Gbinije Starting for SU Shouldn’t be a Surprise
The first thought through my mind when I saw Jon Rothstein‚Äôs tweet yesterday was surprise that it wasn‚Äôt already official. Of course Gbinije was going to be the starting point guard. Who else would it be? Kaleb Joseph? Not after the way last year ended with Kaleb getting benched in favor of Gbinije. So of…

Could This Be Jim Boeheim’s Last Year At Syracuse?
Now that it is officially official and Mike Hopkins will be the next head coach at SU, maybe Coach Boeheim‚Äôs time will come to an end sooner than expected.

Does The Draft Effect SU Recruiting?
Right away, the first instinct is to say, ‚Äúof course! Kids see Syracuse players going high in the draft and want in on the action.‚Äù But maybe not. The Orange has had 6 players drafted over the last 3 years, good for second most in the country ‚Äì presumably behind Kentucky ‚Äì brought to our…
