pearl's last game. robinson had 35/11/ 7 blocks. 21 of 27 from the line.

[I]"Navy connected on 41 of 52 free-throw attempts as four Syracuse players fouled out.
However, Syracuse Coach Jim Boeheim had no complaints.
"Free throws were not a factor," Boeheim said. "We had to foul.
"The key to the game was (Vernon) Butler. We contained him earlier this season, but with Robinson going the way he was, we had to pay too much attention to him."[/I]

[FONT=Arial]tisdale game was 1984. i remember i photocopied a press pass and sat with my fujica camera and a telephoto lens court side . first dome game i remember us losing. boeheim's thoughts[/FONT]

[I]"What do you remember from that game?[/I]

[I]It’s a bad memory. They came in and just kicked our butt up and down. They had a really good team. We weren’t as good as we had been. I’m trying to think of the guard that had 29 or something (Tim McCalister scored 26). Wayman was a handful. Billy Tubbs was coaching. They went up and down. We liked to go up and down, we just weren’t good enough that particular year. Not many people came into Syracuse and just run us out but they did. Wayman Tisdale was a special player. I got to know him a little bit after that on a couple different occasions. He was one of a kind. It’s hard to put an accurate reading of what he was. He was just really special. It was a tremendous loss to lose a guy like that so young.[/I]
