Hymen Lipman received the first patent for attaching an eraser to the end of a pencil on this day in 1858. The majority of these writing utensils made in the United States are painted yellow. It is believed that this tradition began in 1890 when the L & C Hardtmuth Company of Austria-Hungary introduced their Koh-I-Noor brand, named after the famous diamond. This pencil was intended to be the world’s best and most expensive pencil. Other companies then began to copy the yellow color so that their pencils would be associated with the high-quality brand.[/SIZE][/I] [B][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#ff8000][SIZE=6]SU News[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/B] [IMG]http://www.kuathletics.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&image_path=/images/2017/3/29/KUMBB_2018_hoophall_invite.jpg[/IMG] [B][URL='http://www.kuathletics.com/news/2017/3/29/mens-basketball-kansas-to-face-syracuse-in-hoophall-miami-invite.aspx']Kansas to face Syracuse in Hoophall Miami Invite[/URL] (kuathletics.com)[/B] [I]The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced today the matchups for the third annual Hoophall Miami Invitational, a premier college basketball showcase held in conjunction with American Airlines Arena on Dec. 2.

Inside the Loud House looks at what’s next for these players.[/SIZE] Syracuse Basketball lost a lot of talent when this season ended. They had two role players graduate, and two grad-transfers graduate. The Syracuse Basketball seniors were Center [URL='http://insidetheloudhouse.com/2017/03/01/syracuse-basketball-senior-review-dajuan-coleman/']Dajuan Coleman[/URL], and Power forward [URL='http://insidetheloudhouse.com/2017/02/28/syracuse-basketball-senior-review-tyler-roberson/']Tyler Roberson[/URL].

This mass exodus creates a lot for questions for next year. That aside, what’s next for Syracuse’s seniors and Tyler Lydon (signed with an agent) now that their eligibility is up? Are they NBA bound? Are the looking more at an overseas professional career? Will be seeing them on the sidelines in a few years as coaches, maybe at Syracuse? We answer some of these questions, and looks at where they may end up and how they’ll fare. ...
