In fairness he did say 20 not 22.

As much as I love Sean McDonough, hearing him just makes me miss Jay Bilas and Billy Raftery all the more...especially on a Monday night in a game with two former BE teams. That trio was my favorite broadcasting team of all time. So knowledgeable and funny, and it didn't hurt that they were...

Fans recognized from the start that there was just something special about that group of players. What added to the excitement was that the team was flying under everybody's radar nationally (I mean how often do national champions enter February unranked?). It was like we knew what we had and...

there will never be a better broadcasting team than bilas, sean mcdonough and billy raftery. they knew the big east -- its history, its coaches, its players, its rivalries -- inside and out, and their input added something to each telecast. in addition, their personalities and humor meshed...

tyler ennis' heave: 68 that fat kid's middle fingers: 60

march has always been my favorite month for sports, but this year it can't end soon enough.

big mondays used to make it feel like the big east owned college basketball, and sean, billy and jay just seemed like they were ours; the joy and interest they brought to each broadcast -- not to mention their familiarity with the players, coaches and history of the conference -- made it seem...

mcneil may have finished his career as a 49% free throw shooter, but who can forget the two he made late in the game against no. 2 pitt on february 1, 2003, just a few days after his mom died? that game was THE turning point for the season. and to illustrate how much in-season rankings mean...

she was very clear and accurate, but what impressed me the most was how much she knew about the two teams, even though neither one is in the national spotlight. i could listen to sean mcdonough all day as well; one of the things i miss about the big east is the big monday broadcasts with him...

i understand his role changed this year, but why wasn't RAK given the chance to be a scorer last season? if the coaches were able to turn him into an offensive weapon for his senior year, then why couldn't they have done it for his junior year instead? the tools had to have been there all...

i absolutely agree with your point. what i'm saying, though, is that when rak gets 15 points in a game on just eight shots and the rest of the team manages only nine points on 22 attempts from three, s.u. wouldn't have anything to lose by calling some plays designed for rak to shoot, even if he...

why should we expect a heavy dose of this though? christmas played another great game yesterday, yet he got only eight shots in 40 minutes. patterson had nine in 17 minutes. for the first time in years syracuse has two big guys who are legitimate offensive threats, but instead of utilizing...

if this is, in fact, a rebuilding year, then what's going to happen next season when the only two offensive threats on the current roster are gone?

how does a team this inept from three-point range take 22 three-point shots in a game that was neck and neck for the first 37 minutes? and where's JB in all of this? we've seen him on hundreds of occasions immediately take out a player for making a poor pass or forcing a shot, yet patterson...

every year there are young teams that struggle out of the gate but end up gelling late in the season and playing their best basketball when it matters most. the way syracuse responded tonight after going down 10 points so late in the game was remarkable, and i'd like to think that the team has...

based on the hype fair had coming into this season, what he produced was rather lackluster. and i think that'll be one of the reasons ennis and grant will leave: they saw firsthand that returning doesn't automatically mean an improved draft stock.

memo three: grant didn't miss syracuse's game at boston college on tuesday because syracuse didn't play a game at boston college on tuesday. memo four: ennis' game winner against pitt wasn't from "beyond half court." memo five: there should be an option where you can decide to turn off the...

syracuse caught all the breaks in their first 25 games. i'm not so sure that having that trend change in a mere five games means the law of averages is on syracuse's side.

that's the maddening thing about cooney: the guy's an athlete who can seemingly get to the hoop at will. since the conference games started, though, he's turned into marius janulis.

this seems logical until you look at the numbers. last season cooney shot 27% from 3-point range. this season he's up to 39%. however, in pre-ACC games he shot 50% (43-86), while in ACC games he's hit 31% of his attempts (40-128). (i know it's just piling on, but if you take out the ND game...

syracuse has lost at least three important players after four of the past five seasons. below are the scoring, rebounding and assist numbers of each of these players during his final year at s.u., the cumulative percentages the team lost in these categories after the player's departure, and the...

what's the cutoff date for underclassmen to enter the draft?

this article was either written before the big east tournament or "jeff eisenberg" is otto porter's mom's alias. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the-dagger/ranking-10-best-dunks-college-basketball-season-145641458--ncaab.html

not even "brandon triche lacks leadership, emotion and confidence"?

who actually makes s.u.'s ooc schedule?

has he ever sounded this disinterested?

the similarity between those games: syracuse got destroyed. the dissimilarity in the aftermath: g-mac won't be playing in this year's bet.

i still think the 2010 team was the most complete s.u. team ever; the chemistry the players had with one another was obvious, and it just seemed like they were having fun while playing. in addition, they were a very likable team as well; there was no ego amongst the players, and they played...

everyone seems to think that mcw is definitely leaving after this season. my question is this: if he knew all along that he was going to enter the draft following just one season where he logged serious playing time, then why did he choose su? he had to have realized that he wasn't going to...
