Welcome to World Spagetti Day!
Spaghetti, a long, cylindrical, and thin pasta made of milled wheat and water, is celebrated today. Its name comes from an Italian word meaning "thin string" or "twine." The first written record of pasta is in the Talmud, which dates to the fifth century CE. It mentions dried pasta that could be cooked by being boiled. A popular theory claims that spaghetti was invented in China and Marco Polo brought it to Venice, but it is more likely that spaghetti was originally created in Sicily more than 500 years before his time. Arabs occupied Sicily in the seventh century CE, and brought a meal called itriyya, which was described as a "dry pasta". This is likely where spaghetti came from. In a geographical survey of Sicily and surrounding regions called the Book of Roger, commissioned by Sicily's monarch King Roger II and published by Muhammad al-Idrisi in 1154, a long strand hard wheat pasta is mentioned. It was manufactured in large quantities in the Sicilian town of Trabia and exported to other regions. This is the first definitive historical record of spaghetti production.

Syracuse escapes as Girard, Mintz lift hatch - The Juice Online (the juice; Stechschulte)
Tuesday night, Syracuse managed to pull out one of their ugliest wins in recent history, eking out a 70-69 win at Louisville. The Orange (10-5, 3-1 ACC) and Cardinals (2-13, 0-4) combined to commit 36 turnovers overall (24 in the first half), including two in the final five seconds as the former looked like they would hold on for the victory, only to give the latter an opportunity to win, which they, in turn, gave up.
SU’s Judah Mintz was dribbling out the clock when he slipped and turned the ball over, which was recovered by Louisville’s El Ellis. Ellis then advanced the ball into the frontcourt and had the ball tipped away by Syracuse center Jesse Edwards. The ball went to Benny Williams, who passed the ball out to Joe Girard III as the clock expired, saving the win for the Orange.
While Girard was a footnote in the final seconds, he played a very big role in SU getting that far by hitting four three-pointers and 10-of-11 from the foul line as he poured in 28 points while grabbing seven rebounds. Mintz helped out his backcourt mate with 16 points while Edwards had his seventh double-double of the season, finishing with 12 points and 11 rebounds to go with four blocks.
El Ellis and Mike James each drilled four triples for the Cards as they finished with 20 and 19 points, respectively. Ellis also dished out nine assists and had three steals. Jae’Lyn Withers also reached double digits, adding ten points to the Louisville side of the ledger.

Girard scores 28, Syracuse basketball edges Louisville 70-69 (auburnpub.com; AP)
Joe Girard III scored 28 points and Syracuse survived a frantic final eight seconds to edge Louisville 70-69 on Tuesday night.
Judah Mintz and Girard hit two free throws each to give Syracuse a three-point lead with 17.2 seconds left. El Ellis made two free throws to get the Cardinals within a point with 8.2 seconds remaining. Mintz took the inbounds and raced up the court but slipped, losing the ball to Ellis, who charged the other way, only to have Jesse Edwards tip the ball from behind and the game ending with a scramble on the floor.
Girard gave Syracuse (10-5, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) its first leads of the second half, first with two free throws with 2 1/2 minutes left and then with a 3-pointer a minute later. He was 7 of 18 from the floor with four 3-pointers and made 10 of 11 free throws. Mintz scored 16 points on 7-of-15 shooting and Edwards had 12 points with 11 rebounds for his seventh double-double of the season along with four blocks.

Cardinal call: SU basketball squeaks by Louisville (Axe recap) (PS; $; Axe)
If Tuesday night’s 70-69 win by the Syracuse University men’s basketball team over the Louisville Cardinals at the KFC Yum! Center had a soundtrack, three songs come to mind that would have to make the list.
One is “Give it Away Now” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers (who coincidentally visit the JMA Wireless Dome in April).
The Orange and Cardinals combined for 36 turnovers on Tuesday night, gifting each other a lot of points off mistakes (42).
The second song would be the Benny Hill Theme as it would appropriately play over much of the game, but especially the last sequence.
In the final seconds with SU up by one point, Judah Mintz dribbled over halfcourt in an attempt to drain the clock before getting fouled. He slipped and lost the ball.
Louisville guard El Ellis picked up the ball with five seconds remaining and sprinted upcourt, but had the ball knocked away by Syracuse center Jesse Edwards and into the hand of SU’s Benny Williams, who dove on it as the final horn sounded

Syracuse Basketball: Big game by Joe Girard propels SU to ACC road win (itlh; Adler)
Syracuse basketball recently closed out 2022 with a win and began 2023 in the same manner, as the Orange got a game-high 28 points from senior shooting guard Joe Girard III and squeaked by Louisville in an exciting Atlantic Coast Conference encounter on Tuesday night at the KFC Yum! Center.
It wasn’t pretty by any means, but the ‘Cuse managed a 70-69 victory over the struggling Cardinals, and that outcome gives Syracuse basketball two straight wins. The Orange has also triumphed seven times in its last eight affairs, with a massive road test looming this coming weekend in Charlottesville, Va.
On Tuesday evening, the ‘Cuse (10-5, 3-1 in the ACC) and the Cardinals (2-13, 0-4) engaged in a thrilling contest that included numerous runs by each squad, featured a ton of turnovers, and came down to the final few seconds in Louisville, Ky.
Girard was terrific. He hit on 4-of-8 from beyond the arc and was super clutch from the charity stripe, where he connected on 10-of-11, including several critical made free throws near the end of this meeting.
Additionally, Joe Girard III added seven rebounds, three assists and two steals, although he did have five turnovers. Freshman point guard Judah Mintz tallied 16 points, while senior center Jesse Edwards compiled 12 points, 11 boards and four blocks. Mintz and Girard each played 40 minutes.

What Kenny Payne, Louisville Men's Basketball Players Said After 70-69 Loss vs. Syracuse - Sports Illustrated Louisville Cardinals News, Analysis and More (SI; McGavic)
Despite leading for most of the second half, the Louisville men's basketball eventually fell behind to Syracuse, surrendering a 70-69 decision to remain winless in ACC play.
Here's what head coach Kenny Payne, guard El Ellis and forward Mike James had to say following the loss:
Head Coach Kenny Payne
Louisville HC Kenny Payne Postgame Presser vs. Syracuse (1/3/23)
(Opening Statement)
“First of all, I thought Syracuse was a very good team. They have a kid that shoots the lights out and makes shots at critical times. I thought the point guard puts pressure on the rim and the big fellow caused us to slip and not pay attention and he dunked it in a couple of times. Good team. There was more than a win for them than that being on us. There were unforced turnovers. There was a lack of hitting somebody first to get a rebound at a critical juncture. I mean, I don’t know how you win a game, how is it a one-point game when we had 21 turnovers and they had 25 points off those 21 turnovers. That goes to show that we gave it away. We gave it away. My heart goes out to my team because they deserved to win. They are getting better. They are fighting. They are trying. But at the end of the day, nobody is going to give it to you. We are going to have to take it. We are going to have to change the perception of who you are and what you are. You have to be realistic and we have to look at ourselves and see what are people saying about Louisville. Then we have to go and change it. If that means we get technical fouls because we hit somebody across the face then we should get technical fouls because we hit somebody across the face. We are not going to accept people looking at us turning the ball over and looking at us and thinking we can offensive rebound against them because they are soft. That is not acceptable.

Louisville basketball shows improvement, but is done in by same mistakes in one-point loss (C-J; Dawson)
Maybe it had to end this way, a madcap scramble of dueling turnovers in the closing seconds.
Maybe despite all it had done right Tuesday night, this Louisville men's basketball team was doomed to be done in by the mistakes it can't stop repeating.
The Cardinals made some critical changes at the KFC Yum Center. Just not enough to beat Syracuse.
When point guard El Ellis lost the ball just before the final horn — maybe it was stolen; maybe he was fouled, we'll get there — it was just another loss in this historically horrific start, this one 70-69.
But it felt a little different.
And it had to hurt a little more.
"It's just frustrating, man," Ellis said after a 20-point, nine-assist effort that ended with the ball in his hands and a chance to win.
With his team ahead by one and the clock winding down, Syracuse guard Judah Mintz slipped and fell to the floor — "The game's over; just stop and hold the ball," Orange coach Jim Boeheim said — and Ellis scooped up the ball that bounced free near midcourt.
Ellis dashed toward the rim, though he said he was looking for teammate Mike James on the right wing before Syracuse center Jesse Edwards appeared to knock the ball loose. Though it wasn't clear from a replay if Edwards made contact with Ellis, the Louisville point guard said Edwards "grabbed my arm and I fell."

Louisville basketball loses to Syracuse in first game of new year (wlky.com; Keck)
University of Louisville basketball players and coaches said they would be treating the new year as a blank slate, and Syracuse would be the first test.
Unfortunately for the Cardinals, its game Tuesday against the Orange had a familiar ending.
UofL played close with Syracuse down to the wire, but ultimately couldn't pull out the win, losing 70-69.
This wasn't a lopsided loss, or like some of the one-point losses earlier this season. UofL played a good game for the most part, except for struggling to not turn the ball over finishing with 21 on the night.
El Ellis was the leading scorer for UofL with 20 points and he had the help of Mike James who scored 19.
Louisville shot well from the field and three-point land, shooting 42.9% and 40% respectively.
While the team didn't have many free throw attempts, UofL shot under 50% from the line.

Alison Gilmore ’24 found a home in Syracuse University's Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, where she’s taken advantage of opportunities to pursue a career in sport analytics. Gilmore saw sport analytics as a perfect way to combine her math and statistics skills with her love for sports—and she credits her father for first learning about the Syracuse University program and knowing she’d love it. “I looked into sport analytics and from that day I knew I wanted to come to Syracuse,” she says. “I’m so grateful to be here and forever grateful to my family for encouraging me.”
New state law clarifies rules around NIL deals for student-athletes (warer.org; Shiroff)
A new state law helps Division I colleges like Syracuse University better understand rules around the financial deals that student-athletes can now make.
College athletes have been able to earn money off their name, image, and likeness — or NIL — since July 2021, but many details were never clarified. Now, new legislation that went into effect Sunday is eliminating the confusion around the responsibilities of universities.
The law's most significant provision prohibits any school, conference or other organization with oversight on collegiate athletics from punishing a player for making money off their name, image or likeness.
Additionally, the legislation requires schools to set up programs to help student-athletes thrive in their sport, the classroom and life after college. These programs could include mental health resources, a financial distress fund for student-athletes, leadership training, and degree completion assistance.
Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the bill into law in late November, saying she was proud to enact legislation that gives student-athletes the recognition they deserve.
"Our collegiate student athletes are heroes on the field - and they deserve to be treated like heroes even after the final whistle," Hochul said in a news release. "For too long, collegiate student athletes have not been able to benefit from the extraordinary benefits their hard work has provided to their schools."
The law only applies to Division I schools.

It’s been 60 years of secret agent James Bond movies and to celebrate the anniversary, an official collection of James Bond vehicles is now on display in Upstate New York.
“Bond in Motion” has brought 25 iconic “007″ vehicles to the Saratoga Automobile Museum. It opened in November 2022 and will run through November 2023.
The exhibit includes the 1964 Aston Martin DB5, the 1977 Lotus Esprit from “The Spy Who Loved Me,” the 2007 “Casino Royale” Aston Martin DBS that made movie history with a record-breaking seven rotation roll, and one of the ten Aston Martin DB10s built specifically for 2015′s “Spectre.”
“Bond in Motion” will also feature other vehicles including a motorbike, three-wheeler, submarine, and the Indian motorized rickshaw, or “tuk-tuk,” that appeared in a chase scene through the crowded streets of Udaipur in the 1983 film “Octopussy.”
