    Zion's Custom Nikes an NCAA Violation?

    Can someone please explain to me why Zion's Custom made shoes are not an NCAA violation? Will Nike send it's top people to custom fit any Duke student? The NCAA ruled that because UNC phantom classes were available to all students the biggest academic scandal in history didn't constitute an...

    Box Score Tells the Story

    In last night's game we shot we shot 44% (43.8% but I am rounding), 44.0% from behind the arc, which means we also shot 44% from inside the arc. When was the last field goal you ask...at 00.44 of the overtime. Seems like we were destined to win this one. Box Score 44s

    Anyone Else Having Problems with the Site on Chrome?

    I was unable to post on Chrome today but am able to do so via Edge (which I I hate). Yesterday I was unable to get the chat to work via Chrome but didn't think to try via edge. Is it just me?

    Gillon's Last Sequence

    We have all seen the shot many times. However, we should not forget Gillon's game tying drive to the hoop. Sandwiched in between was some great mano a mano defense to make Kennard force a shot with the shot clock running out. Just a fantastic sequence by Gillon to save this game.

    Please Don't Tell Nike

    Pantone 448c is thought to be the worlds ugliest color. Let's not share this fact with Nike because they would certainly incorporate the color into our uniforms should they find out! That is all.

    Kudos to Our Bigs!

    What has been lost in all the "do they or don't they deserve to be in" talk is the improvement in our bigs. Early in the season most of us knew our perimeter guys could play. The middle was a question mark on both ends. Personally, I thought that this team could go as far as our bigs could take...

    I just met Matt Moyer in Grand Central

    I am wearing my Syracuse hoodie today for karma. I saw a tall young man donning an SU backpack walking down the ramp and said "Go Orange!" He was listening to his headphones and didn't hear. As I walked up beside him I tapped his arm and showed him my Syracuse logo Devendorf style. He smiled...

    Recruiting may have taken a big hit along with Dungey

    In a season full of questionable decisions the by the coaching staff leaving Dungey in yesterday may have been the most damaging. If I am the parent of a potential recruit I would be seriously concerned about the hit that Dungey took during garbage time. My number one concern would always be the...

    Where Does This SU G'town Game Rank?

    I came across this article recently: Top 10 moments: Georgetown vs. Syracuse. The article was written before the final meeting between the teams in the Big East Tournament.

    Duke playing 3 games in 5 days...

    Georgia Tech tonight, UNC Thursday, and I think they have a game on Saturday. If they rain treys on us it will have to be with very tired legs. I saw how tired our guys looked playing their 3rd game in 7 days, I can't imagine how Duke can respond playing 3 in 5.

    Am I the only one who is concerned?

    Am I the only one who is concerned about our lack of inside scoring? Most of our points inside seem to come from offensive put backs or flashy assists from our guards. When we get into the BE portion of the schedule I am concerned that we will get fewer of these opportunities. I would feel...

    CJ played a great game. In the first half I couldn't believe that he was always coming up with loose balls put backs and errant rebounds. I know we have come to expect this type of game from such a smart and talented player, but his first half was tremendous. Oh, and he was pretty darned good...

    Much Ado About Very Little...

    Ok, I get that ESPN wants to create controversy to get ratings. The goaltend was clearly a missed call. However, it would have only tied the game with 10.1 seconds to play. We would have had the last shot to win with the worst case overtime. ESPN does not know how that would have played out...
