Fort Drum Soldiers, ROTC Cadets Visit Syracuse Baskebll Practice (Video; PS; Waters)

A group of soldiers from Fort Drum, along with several cadets in the Syracuse University ROTC program, attended the Syracuse basketball team's practice on Friday at the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center.

After watching practice, the soldiers and cadets got to meet the Syracuse players and coaches. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim shook hands with every visitor.

A few minutes later, the soldiers and cadets were on the court, shooting around and laughing with players and coaches.

Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins played a game of knockout with Patrick Stone, a specialist in the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum. Stone got the win.

Then, a massive game of knockout involving every SU player, soldier and cadet.

The SU program has an ongoing relationship with Fort Drum. The relationship came about through the efforts of Bill Smullen, a retired military veteran and the director of SU's National Security Studies program at the Maxwell School.

ACC Day in Review: Miami Wastes Big Lead, Loses at Florida State (PS; Stevens)

Good Miami's shown up on more than a few occasions. You know that team, the one that's blasted Duke on the road, beaten N.C. State and Syracuse in a 48-hour window and knocked off Florida in Gainesville (even if this is not a vintage year for the Gators).

Then there's Bad Miami, the team that's lost by 28 to Eastern Kentucky and 20 to Georgia Tech --- both at home, no less. It has a way of popping up, too.

The Hurricanes' postseason dreams like squarely on the hope their better selves pop up far more often than the more erratic, frazzled and unsuccessful version. Usually one or the other shows up to play.

Miami got a bit of both Sunday, and a mildly troubling 55-54 loss at Florida State as an unwanted outcome. The Hurricanes (14-7, 4-4 ACC) built a 32-16 lead in the first half. That advantage had fully vanished with five minutes to play, and neither team would lead by more than a point the rest of the way.

Boeheim: I'm glad we had a week off. We needed the time to get rested and work on some things. I think it will help us.

Boeheim on home-road splits: I think the league is really competitive. Anyone can win on the road the way it's played out.

Boeheim on Tech: They really shoot the ball well from the 3-point line, multiple guys that shoot the ball well.

Boeheim on Tech: Our players are aware that this is a very good basketball team.

Boeheim on 3-point defense: We've just worked on it. We've done a lot of work this week, working on some things we'll face.

Boeheim on 3-point defense: UNC had such a great inside presence we had to be concerned about that. We have to do much better on perimeter.

Boeheim on Christmas: I'm sure they'll give him a lot of attention, make it difficult to get him the ball. We need to be aware of him.

Boeheim on Christmas: It's important for us to be balanced.

Boeheim on lack of focus in second-half vs. Virginia Tech during comeback: I don't think there was any of that.

Boeheim on Roberson: He's got a great opportunity. He's done a great job on the board and made some good offensive plays the last 2 games.

Boeheim on short bench defense: Rak has been in same situation every year. He understands how he has to play.

Boeheim on Cooney: He gets more attention. Gerry had Carmelo and Hakim. Trevor doesn't get good looks. He has to work for the looks he gets.

Boeheim on Cooney: I think he's getting better as a basketball player as well. He ranks at the highest level of guys we have shooting.

Boeheim on Cooney: He sets up the shooting machine and take 400 or 500 shots. It's incredible. I don't think we have anyone shoot as much.

Boeheim on McCullough: Hasn't had surgery yet. Hasn't been scheduled yet.

Buzz Williams on post defense: Christmas is so good, you can't give him the same look every time. I think he's a pro.

Buzz Williams on Cooney: Cooney can beat you however you allow him to beat you. He makes really good plays off the bounce.

Buzz Williams on Syracuse strategy: You want to try to score some points in transition before their zone sets up.

Buzz Williams said his team's flight has been delayed twice already today. Hokies scheduled to come to Syracuse today. It's snowing.

Buzz Williams on flights to 'Cuse: "I hope we get there before 9 p.m. tomorrow. It doesn't sound like the weather up there is too good."
 
huh, no Boeheim on "Falling on the sword for the sake of the program" :confused:
