The originator of "The Quiet Storm" format, there was no mistaking Harper's voice when he started talking. Harper [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2016/07/former_syracuse_basketball_player_vaughn_harper_dies_at_71.html#incart_river_index']passed away on Saturday [/URL]at the age of 71. Longtime [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/teams/syracuse-orange']Syracuse Orange[/URL] fans might remember Harper from a time long before he was a DJ. They might remember him as an extremely solid member of the same SU basketball team in the late 60's. [URL='http://www.orangehoops.org/VHarper.htm']Harper played for SU[/URL] between 1965 and 1968 and was a sophomore when Davie Bing and Jim Boeheim were seniors. He started alongside the two legends and averaged nine points a game. After Bing and Boeheim left he blossomed and became one of the team leaders, averaging 16.3 points and 14.4 rebounds per game as as a junior and 15.8 points and 10.9 rebounds per game as a senior. He finished his Syracuse career with 1,070 points and was drafted by the Detroit Pistons. He didn't make the team and segued into his radio career.

[I] [URL='http://www.fiba.com/ls/#12526&BKM400101']France defeated Canada 83-74[/URL] to collect the final spot in the Rio Olympic basketball tournament. Only 12 teams play in the Olympic Games. Ennis converted a driving lefty layup with about three minutes to go to get Canada within three, but Parker and the French took over from there. Parker, the 34-year-old guard who made his NBA reputation with the San Antonio Spurs, scored 26 points in fewer than 28 minutes to lead France. Ennis, the former Syracuse guard who now plays for the Milwaukee Bucks, scored nine points on 4-of-9 shooting. He had two assists and three turnovers in a little more than 28 minutes. Cory Joseph, of the Toronto Raptors, scored 20 for Canada and Melvin Ejim had 19. Canada struggled to take care of the basketball (21 turnovers) and struggled to contain France's guards. Parker and Nando de Colo combined for 48 points on 17-of-26 shooting.

State officials are expecting the largest turnout to date for the 400-mile, eight-day tour. More than 650 cyclists from 38 states, as well as international participants from as far away as Australia are expected to participate. Roughly 360 miles of the tour takes place on the completed portion of the Erie Canalway Trail. Participants will have the opportunity to take in guided tours of the canal, historic sites, museums, and attractions such as the Women's Rights National Historical Park and Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in Seneca Falls, the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse, and the Fort Stanwix National Monument in Rome. "Apart from its breathtaking beauty, the Erie Canal corridor plays a vital role in this state's history and present economy and we're proud to showcase all these aspects in our 18th annual cycle ride," said New York Governor Cuomo. "I welcome the cyclists who are coming from far and wide to participate in this world-renowned tour and encourage them to indulge in all New York has to offer." The ride concludes in Albany next Sunday. [/I] [/QUOTE]
