    2023-2024 schedule release 8 PM tonight

    When does the conference schedule come out? Isn't it usually out by now?

    2023 Maui Classic

    With all of the ticket packages sold out, does anyone have any idea of how possible it is to get tickets from scalpers/stubhub and/or sneak in the back door?!?

    Carmelo officially retiring!

    Yes, but...was I the only one disappointed that it didn't end with Kiyan committing to the Orange?

    Class of 2025 SG Kiyan Anthony (NY) Offered

    Love to see it! Though was I the only one disappointed that Melo's retirement video didn't end with Kiyan committing to the Orange?

    The Recipe for Winning

    In addition to Cole hitting shots that takes pressure off Buddy & Joe (both mental pressure and defensive pressure), I think an under-discussed key to our shooting percentage the past few games has been pushing the tempo. Syracuse teams of old used to get a lot of fast break points (often off...

    Alan Griffin entering the draft, will sign with an agent

    By "defense" do you mean "non-defense?" Like the "defense" in the NBA All-Star game type of defense?

    Kadary Richmond in the transfer portal

    Generally a JB defender, but hard to claim it doesn't have anything to do with JB. His old school screaming style might be what some kids like/need, but many don't respond to (or deserve) that type of treatment. Of course there is a fine line between pushing a kid to succeed and pushing them...

    Wish the sweet 16 sched was normal

    Have been wondering about this...is the extra day in between due to some kind of COVID protocol, or have they shared any other reasoning behind it?

    Sweet 16/Elite 8 Tickets

    How special do you need to be to get said email? Been a season ticket holder for 8 years, but not a major donor by any means.

    Headmaster9, Ragman, Obie9 and I just had the three most amazing days in Indy

    How does ticket price compare to a normal year?

    It’s time to retire the phrase that these tournament runs are flukes.

    Was thinking the exact same. And Izzo was a hero with the media during that run. Now that it's 3 for JB in the last several years, it's clearly a pattern and not a fluke. Let's see if he gets the same love...

    Post season

    Can someone remind me how hosting works for the NIT? Are all the games hosted by the higher seeded team until the semifinals and finals at MSG? Or are there regional sites before that?

    The GMAC comparison

    I said the same thing when Hughes hit the jab step, jab step, lull the defender to sleep, hit a three pointer. Melo-esque for sure.

    Duke Tip?

    Anyone that’s in the know have an idea of how much longer they’ll wait to announce the tip time for the Duke game?

    ACC Media Day October 8

    Apologies if I'm way behind (don't get on here much in the offseason), but when did we get the colors on the sides of the jerseys? All we need now is the script "Syracuse" and all my uniform dreams will come true! I promise I'd buy one in every number Nike!

    ACC Schedule Reveal coming Thursday on ACCN

    No games in the state of North Carolina? Not that I'm complaining, but that has to be a rare feat to not play at Duke, UNC or Wake, especially in a 20 game ACC season.

    TBT Ticket Exchange

    I've seen a few random messages on the various TBT / Boeheim's Army related threads with people looking for tickets or looking to sell, so I figured it was worth its own thread. I'm looking for 3 tickets for Friday if anybody has extras!

    Roll Call TBT...

    I blew it! This totally snuck up on me and now tickets are sold out. If anyone has tickets for Friday and can't make it, I'm looking for 3 (unless I need an 4th for bringing my old Triche Big Head!)

    A stat indicating we're not special anymore

    A few years ago when UConn won their 2nd title in 4 years (with some mediocre regular seasons in the years before and in between), I remember a debate on this board about whether we'd rather have: -Sterling regular seasons, high tourney seeds and underperformance in the tourney OR -Some...

    Statistics and a Record

    By far my favorite play of last night

    That was the play I thought of when I saw the thread title. Movement without the ball and team passing...what a novel idea!

    Hughes

    Can someone tell me what the staff saw in him to want him as a transfer? Scoring under 8ppg at a mid-major isn't exactly lighting it up. What made us go after him? Note that I'm VERY glad that we did, I'd just be curious to hear from someone (either in the know at Syracuse and/or with better...

    Favorite jersey ever. I've only ever seen a Warrick version. Was that the only one made? Has anyone ever seen a M? All I ever see are XL and 2XL.

    Advice or connections for Cameron tickets?

    I've been a season ticket holder for several years and back in the Big East days always used to try to get to one away game as well. When we switched to the ACC, away games started requiring quite a bit more travel so I haven't tried in a few years. Cameron is on my bucket list though, and I...

    Knockoff Jersey Website

    This "NCAA" jersey website is obviously knockoffs, but the benefit of being a knockoff is that that they can have player names on the back. Has anyone ever bought from here? I'd be interested to know if it was decent quality... Syracuse Orange Jersey, T-shirt, Hoodies Professional Shop

    Sources: Thunder, Carmelo Anthony to part ways this summer

    Ironically Jerami Grant's contract gets mentioned in the ESPN article as part of the reason...Who would have seen that coming a few years ago?

    If Battle is back next year where are Hughes minutes going to come from?

    If Buddy redshirts, does that mean we have JB for an extra year?

    Class of 2019 PF Isaiah Stewart (NY/LaLumiereIN) to Washington

    Class of 2018 SG/SF Buddy Boeheim SIGNED WITH SYRACUSE

    Side note: I'm a grad of Irondequoit HS, that beat J-D. They won their first ever NY State title today. The coach has been at IHS almost as long as JB has been at Cuse. Back to recruiting, fingers crossed for 5 more years, though I wouldn't mind if JB softened up a bit. Maybe having his son...

    In two years, who will JB be rooting for when

    Cornell alum here. Was a senior the year they went to the Sweet 16. Even got a press pass from a friend at the Cornell radio station for the Cornell/Cuse game that year. Of course always root for Cornell, except when they play Syracuse. #BleedOrangeNotRed I don't think we'd ever know JB's...

    Battle has emerged as a real force

    I said this last year about Mali and I'll say it again. I'd hate to see him go, but if his stock rises due to a tourney run where he puts us on his shoulders, if we can make the FF, it's worth it IMO.

    Old article showing love for Jimmy and the zone

    Not sure why he dug this up, but Fran Fraschilla just posted this article from 2014 on twitter. It's so rare to see the 2-3 get some love, that I thoroughly enjoyed reading and thought you might too The Z Factor

    A big advantage Saturday

    Watch out! Pretty soon they'll start factoring in crowd size to start undermining our road wins...might even end up in the replacement RPI that Sagarin and KenPom are helping to come up with ;)

    The "Press"

    When we started pressing, we got lucky that they missed two open threes and then had a turnover on an attempted drive. After that, they stopped trying to score early and instead slowed down after breaking the press to let us set up our zone. If 1 or 2 of those 3 possessions turned into points...

    JB Fist Pump at End of Game

    THIS is why the debate a few weeks back about the "great season with early tournament exit" vs. "rough season with tournament run" is mind boggling to me. When you're on the roller coaster, the downs may be rough (especially on this board), but the ups are so much sweeter...then when it ends on...

    If you could choose, would you prefer 30 wins and sweet 16 or 14 losses + Final 4?

    Surprised at the responses. I'd take FF any day. They hang banners for FF, only mid-majors hang banners for Sweet 16s, and nobody hangs them for 30 win seasons. That being said, what do you think matters more for recruiting? If the team is in the middle of a dominant year, it's an easier...

    Tyus Battle-1st career start

    Too bad. JB was going to try to give him the MCW treatment...don't give him quite enough minutes to get on NBA scout radar to keep him for an extra year.
