Last time Ewing was in the Dome he was throwing elbows. Now he couldn’t be nicer.
I mean, that was 33 years ago. I bet 1985 Townie wasn't nearly as jovial and pleasant as you are now, either.

I mean it’s a pretty tough schedule this year with Ohio State away, Buffalo ranked the Oregon and UConn tournament, and Gtown. And considering we play in the ACC, I’m not sure we want that many more tough opponents.Its all well and good for us to say we don't need them. I get it. I hate how terrible we have played vs them and uconn. But Syracuse does not have a single attractive non ACC opponent scheduled in either sport at the moment. Anyone good won't be played in the Dome.
We can get someone OK in but the blue bloods that would fill the Dome in December might pass on home and homes with us.
If I was a ST holder I'd be pretty angry if I knew all I was going to get was the same ACC teams and local schools. Georgetown every other year when we are away in the ACC B1G would be a good thing from that angle.
It’s funny because Kentucky, Kansas, and UNC have no trouble finding other blue bloods to play in every year in home and homes. Syracuse, believe it or not, used to get at least one marquee, top tier program to the dome every year and we would travel to one every year also. This is college hoops, a loss in pre-conference to a blue blood ain’t no thing, especially if it’s on the road.Its all well and good for us to say we don't need them. I get it.
