ACC News
Can Virginia Repeat as Conference Champions? (hoopshabit.com; Synder)
ACC basketball has long been controlled by teams wearing blue. The Duke-North Carolina rivalry dominates national conversation about the conference and for good reason. The Blue Devils and Tar Heels have won a combined 48 regular season championships and a combined 36 tournament championships.
In the 2012-13 season, a senior laden Miami Hurricanes squad surprised the conference by sweeping the regular season and tournament titles. This was supposed to be a minor blip on the radar, rarely do the non-elite programs in the ACC win championships consistently.
Last year the status quo was expected to return to form. Duke was loaded with talent including the eventual No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, Jabari Parker. North Carolina was young but featured several McDonald’s All-Americans on the roster and one of the best players in the country in point guard Marcus Paige.
If any team was going to stop the bluebloods it was supposed to be new ACC entrant Syracuse, who hoped to make a statement during their first year in the league. These three teams got most of the press, while the Virginia Cavaliers played the best basketball.

See SU's New $90 Million Law School Building, Dineen Hall (PS; Tobin)
Syracuse University's College of Law will dedicate SU's newest building Friday, the $90 million Dineen Hall.
The spacious, airy, high-tech and environmentally green building is named for a family with a long legacy at SU.
Nine decades ago, Robert Dineen left his Syracuse Irish immigrant neighborhood a few blocks away to attend SU's College of Law. Dineen went straight into law school from high school, skipping undergraduate studies -- which could be done in the 1920s. When he graduated in 1924, at age 21, he held a certificate of law.
A few years later, Carolyn Bareham, of Rochester, entered SU's College of Law as one of two women in her class. She graduated with her law degree in 1932.
Dineen and Bareham met as lawyers when they were representing co-defendants in a lawsuit. They worked for two Syracuse-area law firms -- Dineen for Bond, Schoeneck and King, Bareham for Costello, Cooney and Fearon.
They married. They had four children. One
died of leukemia at age seven, the three others became lawyers. One of them - Robert Jr. - also attended SU's
College of Law, graduating in 1966. He is a SU trustee.
