How Should Syracuse Fans Feel After The Florida State Loss?
Oh. So. Close. Maybe this game should not have felt as big as it did, but when you‚Äôre reeling as bad as Syracuse is and the opponent has a tiny little number next to its name, it‚Äôs going to feel a lot bigger. It certainly felt like the Orange played up to the hype of…

Fizz Film Room: What we saw in Syracuse-Virginia
Even though Syracuse didn’t get the win, Tuesday’s game against Virginia had to be relieving for Orange fans. SU went on the road to the No. 3 team in the country and lost by single-digits. There were a lot of goods, and certainly negatives to go with it (it was a loss), and the day…

Syracuse Hangs Tough, But Can’t Hold Off No. 3 Virginia On The Road
It almost seemed too good to be true. Syracuse? Hanging with the No. 3 team in the nation? On the road? But the Orange pinched itself in the second half of its 68-61 loss to Virginia. The final score looks much closer than the game felt in its final stages. SU employed the UVA Achilles…

Stock Watch: SU escapes hang-tough Buffalo, 81-74
It was by no means pretty, but Syracuse somehow found a way to stave off a massive comeback attempt from Buffalo to stay perfect at home and improve its overall record to 10-1.

Brissett, Battle Power Syracuse’s Comeback Past Georgetown
It seems like we‚Äôre due for one of these types of games every year. Syracuse gutted out an 86-79 overtime win over longtime rival Georgetown in D.C.

At the Carrier Dome, this year‚Äôs iteration of Syracuse men‚Äôs basketball can beat anyone.

Thompson, Gillon Shine in Syracuse’s Rout Over Boston

Battle, White Help Syracuse Survive UNF Scare
The first half of Syracuse‚Äôs (5-2) 77-71 win over North Florida was one that the Orange would like to forget.

After never switching up his starting lineup all…

Battle, Gillon Help #18 Orange Throttle Crusaders
Think of Tyus Battle and John Gillon as Luke Skywalker and Yoda. No, it‚Äôs not because Gillon is listed at a generous 6-0 and used to wear green during his Colorado State days.
