Jim Boeheim hinted at Coleman having reoccurring knee issues this season at his last press conference, following Syracuse’s win over Pittsburgh. But now, we’re starting to see it firsthand. Early in Tuesday’s game against the Virginia Tech Hokies, Tyler Lydon and Tyler Roberson each picked up two early fouls. Coleman was nowhere to be found. He continued to sit in his same seat on the bench — in between assistants Mike Hopkins and Gerry McNamara. It all started against Boston College. Syracuse lost 96-81, and Coleman didn’t play. At the time, Boeheim said it was due to having Taurean Thompson as an offensive threat in the game - which is true. There was no mention of any injury at the time. Coleman then played one minute against Miami and was held out the last two games against Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech. After the win over Miami, Boeheim commented on the matter. ...

He’s looking to become the 21st player in program history to earn the honor. Sidibe, who committed to the Orange on November 21, attends St. Benedict’s Prep in New Jersey. The 6-foot-11, 220-pound prospect took an official visit to SU’s campus for the season opener against Colgate. He watched practice at the Melo Center the following day. His coach, Mark Taylor, says Sidibe will be ready to contribute on Syracuse’s team next season, especially on the defensive end of the floor. His long, lanky frame is the most attractive part to his game, said Taylor. Here are the former Syracuse McDonald’s All Americans (in chronological order): Tony Bruin, Pearl Washington, Michael Brown, Rodney Walker, Stephen Thompson, Derrick Coleman, Billy Owens, Conrad McRae, Adrian Autry, John Wallace, Michael Lloyd, Carmelo Anthony, Eric Devendorf, Donte Greene, Jonny Flynn, Fab Melo, Michael Carter-Williams, Rakeem Christmas, Dajuan Coleman and Malachi Richardson. The game will take place on March 29 at the United Center in Chicago.

The film tells the real story of three black women in the 1960s who worked as mathematicians and engineers at NASA. (Spoilers ahead.) Astronaut [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/schools/index.ssf/2016/04/syracuse_schools_alumna_nasa_astronaut_to_spend_6_months_in_space.html']Jeanette Epps[/URL], a Syracuse native and Le Moyne College graduate, had been following news about the film for months. She finally saw the movie last Wednesday in Houston. It's official: "Hidden Figures" has received this astronaut's stamp of approval. "It was a very good story, very well-told," said Epps, in a phone call from Houston. "It's a historical look at real events through a dramatic lens." Many space and sci-fi movies rely on "junk science" to disorient audiences or fill time between high-action scenes. Epps was pleased to see "Hidden Figures" didn't fall into that trap. "The funny thing about real science is it can be boring," Epps said. "It takes time to get to that 'aha' moment. All the math they did and talked about was real. It wasn't as sexy as 'Interstellar' with all the multi-dimensional layers, but it used real science." The film also used NASA's real job titles in the 1960's. "Computers" were mathematicians who computed numbers, not the sleek machines we use today. Among her many contributions, computer Katherine Johnson (played by Taraji P. Henson) calculated how to bring John Glenn back down from orbit, using Euler's method. The real Johnson, now 98, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 for her 33-year career at NASA's Langley Research Center. ... [/QUOTE]
