Tyler Lydon, SU Class of 2015 Forward Can Shoot, Drive and Rebound (PS; Ditota)
Tyler Lydon split a column of defenders, dribbled into the lane with his left hand and dunked.
The crowd ringing the three bustling basketball courts at Life Center Academy here gasped. Lydon, who is 6-foot-9 and a reedy 200 pounds, played two scrimmage games with his AAU Albany City Rocks last Saturday. In the second game, his Albany team faced Team Final and Malachi Richardson, who will be a Syracuse teammate starting in 2015-16.

Syracuse Gets Duke Twice Again Next Season; UNC Twice in 2015-16 (PS; Ditota)
Syracuse's basketball team will play a heavy rotation of Duke and North Carolina over the next two seasons.
The ACC today announced its men's conference basketball schedules for the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. Syracuse will play Duke home and away again next season; in 2015-16 it gets North Carolina twice.
Syracuse plays Duke just once in 2015-16; that game will take place in Cameron Indoor Stadium, meaning the Orange will play for three straight years in front of the Cameron Crazies.
The schedule breaks down like this every season: Syracuse will play home and away games vs. its two league 'rivals.' The Orange perennial rivals are Pittsburgh and Boston College.

SU-Duke Rivalry Already Key Part of ACC Basketball (Seven Thoughts on ACC Schedule) (PS; Stevens)
The ACC released its two-year league basketball schedule rotation on Tuesday. Among the noteworthy takeaways:
1. The ACC is going to milk Duke-Syracuse for everything it's worth. Maybe the first thing that stands out about the 2014-15 conference schedule is that Duke and Syracuse will have another home-and-home.
Why does it stand out? Each team has two permanent partners (Syracuse's are Boston College and Pittsburgh) and two partners that are supposed to rotate. Duke-Syracuse is the only rotating series with home-and-homes twice in the first three years of the ACC's 15-team era.
If the ACC were to argue that's simply how the cookie crumbled, take a look at all the home-onlys and road-onlys from last year simply reversing sites. This model is based heavily on the 2013-14 schedule.

It turns out that Jim Boeheim has a smidge of Cal Stoll in him. And it's a smidge that was not well served today by the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Understand that Boeheim, the Syracuse University coach, greatly admires the Duke Blue Devils. And he's fully aware that this past season's two games between his Orange club and Mike Krzyzewski's bunch were boffo in every way.
But …
"Playing Duke home-and-home every year," he said during a late-winter conversation in his office, "wouldn't be fair."

Etan Thomas Plays Basketball with President Obama to Annual Easter Egg Roll (PS; Carlson)
Former Syracuse basketball player Etan Thomas appears to have had himself quite an entertaining Easter.
The former Orange star and nine-year NBA veteran played basketball with President Obama at the Easter Egg Roll on Monday, held annually at the White House.
Thomas was part of a guest list that included Miss America Nina Davuluri, former Syracuse defensive end Dwight Freeney, Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, former Georgetown center Dikembe Mutombo, actor Jim Carrey and Sesame Street's Cookie Monster.
