That was neat to see Edelin come out with Kueth carrying the trophy and then Edelin and Melo hugging like that. Obviously very close from the Baltimore days.
wheeeew that was so good, sheesh.
The Billy Edelin moment got me good.
Awesome ceremony and great job to SU on making the entire thing available online.
On the ACCN stream, they seemed to indicate that Hak was a guard.The continued inability of the athletic department to pay attention to details is astounding to say the least. To announce Billy Edelin was not in attendance at the start of the halftime ceremony and then somehow not see Billy standing next to Kueth during court side introductions is baffling. It gets better though, who is the genius that decided to not hang Gerry and Melo #’s next to each other in the rafters is is clueless even if just for the 315 factor. Clown show on the Hill.
Pretty sure Billy was a surprise. And he may not have wanted a last second intro either. Boeheim singled him out at the end and I’m glad he did. But having talked to Billy a bit during our overlapping time on the hill, I get it. I’m just glad he was there and he had that embrace with Melo. And he got to be with his team. He was a key piece. And a great guy.The continued inability of the athletic department to pay attention to details is astounding to say the least.

We were dead on the water vs. Oklahoma State. GMac & Billy, plus a few McNeil blocks, saved the seasonThere are often too many favorite players when it comes to being in orange and several from that time but Billy is near the top. His game was so unique and so underrated.
I also wish I could find a replay of his game at ND.. the demolition of Chris Thomas and how helpless he made the domers look on their own court.. among many great on court Billy memories that will always stand out.

Sorry to say I'm not in on the "315 factor" -- Can someone help me out and explain?The continued inability of the athletic department to pay attention to details is astounding to say the least.

And the national anthem was spectacular!
I couldn’t read the article because it was a subscription article on Syracuse.com but the title said something about Boeheim admitted one moment got him choked up and emotional on Saturday. I’m assuming the moment was him recognizing Billy to the crowd.
