The 2013-14 season started on April 24, 2013 when CJ said he would be back!!!  We were coming off a final 4, and there was reason to be excited.  The trip to Canada gave the orange faithful an early glimpse, and man what a trip it was!!!!  Highlight was beating Carlton without CJ late in the game!  We also knew we had something special with Tyler.

Cooney lit up Cornell on Nov 8th,  we struggled with St. Francis, we rolled through Maui. Had some gutsy wins, home vs. Pitt, at Miami the epic home game with Duke.

On Feb. 12th, my oldest sons birthday we played  Pitt.(oldest son a crazy fan)  The shot, Tyler Ennis.  That game hooked my 2 youngest sons on cuse.(8 and 5)  They all went nuts.  They would go on and practice the shot in the basement.  They would use their I pads and film the shot  and re watch it.  At that moment, I thought, wow, this is going to be special.  Unfortunately that was our last high of the season  :((

We finished the season 3-6.  Lost out on NYC.   (UCONN now enjoys that slot) Had some awful losses.  Still though we had Buffalo.  What a time it was.  For both games I sat 1 row behind CTO, (thanks to my cousin).  I had a lot of friends/family at pre game.  Met Louie, Bouie, Jason Poles, Matt Gorman, Damone Brown, Malik Campbell, Gene Waldron, John Wallace, Pearl, you name it.  With a shot at the sweet 16, we fell short.

To sum it up, I am not mad we lost, I am sad it's over.

Syracuse hoops gives us something in the winter.  It brings a community close together, friends/family gather to watch games call and text each other.  Gives you a reason to get together.  Just like that is gone.

I will always bleed orange, win or lose.

I was a heck of a ride.  WE now look forward to the future, and wait the announcements of Ennis and Grant. My gut says they both leave.  It will be a stressful off season, the Orange will prevail, and we will  be back for another exciting season.

Thanks for the memories to the 13-14 season, and CJ and Baye, you will always be remembered,
GO ORANGE!!
