Syracuse: Rejuvenation or Stagnation? (hoopshabit.com;Snyder)

The score was 81-78. Jim Boeheim and Syracuse found themselves locked in a tight battle with Kansas in the 2003 NCAA championship game. With 13.5 seconds left to play, Hakim Warrick had just missed a pair of free throws that gave the Jayhawks new life.

On the ensuing possession, three-point specialist and Kansas wing Michael Leesomehow got the ball in the corner with a chance to tie the game. As he launched what looked to be an uncontested jump shot from outside, Warrick flew towards the corner in what could have been perceived as an attempt to atone for his missed free throws.

Warrick’s left arm devoured the ball as it exited Lee’s hand and flew out of bounds, leaving Kansas only 1.5 seconds to attempt one last desperate heave to send the game to overtime. The game would not reach overtime, Syracuse would win their its first national championship, ensuring that Warrick’s block would be played repeatedly every year when March Madness rolls around.

Author Mary Karr Tells SU Grads to be Curious, Compassionate (PS; Breidenbach)

Poet and author Mary Karr encouraged Syracuse University graduates Sunday to leave the place more curious and open-hearted than when they showed up.

"Being smart and rich are lucky. But being curious and compassionate will save your ass," she said.

In her commencement address Sunday, Karr reached into her own history: the story of her "outlaw mother," her drug-using younger self and her own issues with fear and anxiety.

She told students to see their fears a different way.

"If you can get curious about what scares or infuriates you, especially if it's part of yourself, you can get way less scared," she said.

This watcher, noticer self, she said, is "who I think you really are. That's where your soul is."

Karr is professor of English in SU's College of Arts and Sciences, and divides her time between Syracuse and New York City.
