I might have this wrong [was watching the game streaming on a laptop], but did he have "Boeheim III" on the back of his jersey?

Reason I'm asking is that on the forum, we've referred to him for years as "Jimmy Jr." Is he really Jimmy the third?

Or -- and this seems like it is extremely unlikely -- is it a colloquial reference to him being the third Boeheim on the team? That wouldn't make much sense to me, to list it out on a jersey for that reason.

Even more likely -- it was a II, and I just saw it wrong on a small screen.

Any insight?

According to Wikipedia JB's dad is also James so Jimmy is indeed the III
 
Something that I just learned today:. not only do we have a JGIII, but we also have a JBIII.

Looking forward to the ACCN adding two new players to the roster. Everyone welcome Joe Boeheim the third and Jimmy Girard the third.
 
Interesting...I don't think the sign entering Lyons, NY has James B II on it or anything related to him being a junior. I also knew the woman (rest in peace) who helped raise him in Lyons and she never mentioned that to me.

Learn something new everyday
