Ahead of tonight’s game against Maine, Associated Press hoops writer John Kekis chatted with Jimmy B. and coaxed this gem out of him regarding his use of bench players:
“We want to get these guys in,” Boeheim said. “That’s the value of these games, so that they can show some things they can do and show [...]

Last week, we were the first to let you know that New York Daily News sportswriter Dick Weiss was the mystery man behind Syracuse’s lone first-place vote in the AP college basketball poll. Well, let us confirm, officially, that Mr. Weiss is once again SU’s biggest fan. That’s right: He put us atop his ballot [...]

Ever since we saw that SU got one first-place vote in this week’s AP poll, we’ve been wondering which brave and insightful scribe thinks we’ve got the best darn men’s basketball team in the country. Now we know.
It’s Dick Weiss, New York Daily News sports writer and, evidently, the country’s biggest Orange fan. (Here’s an [...]

So I pop over to My Yahoo to check my fantasy football team and behold the content that has arrived:
Halleluia and Hail Boeheim! The basketball schedule is complete! To quote a wise philosopher, “Let’s get it started in here.”
The full schedule can be found here. The highlights:
Coaches vs. Cancer in MSG on Nov 19/20. We [...]

I loved this little nugget from Andy Katz’s somewhat disconcerting/somewhat heartening article about J-Flynn’s flirtation with the draft:
Flynn also wants to play with the returning Orange team as well as the newcomers. Boeheim said Iowa State transfer Wesley Johnson is a “great player and he could be first-team all-league. He’s really good, really explosive.”
That quote [...]

SI’s Seth Davis gets one right and leaves Jonny Flynn off his list of break-out sophomores because he had a “dominant” season as a freshman and was “therefore too obvious to be featured here.”
It’s worth noting because apparently this is higher on the scale of obviousness than the fact that Louis Orr was clearly a [...]
I haven’t posted in a while, but the latest obsession I’ve been working my brain through is a paranoia about Jonny Flynn, and the possibility of him following Donte to the pros after next season. It probably won’t be the right move for him to go pro after next year, but all my confidence is [...]
Interesting news for New York City-based Syracuse basketball fans. I read this first on TNIAAM, but as Cuse Country holds down the NYC-area blogging duties for the SU blogosphere, I wanted to reiterate it in our space to make sure no one missed it:
A film called Gunnin’ for that #1 Spot is debuting at the [...]

Sports Illustrated’s Seth Davis has a really interesting column today looking at who’s rooting for whom with conference play just over the horizon. The conceit is simple: Unless you’re a mortal lock to make the Field of 65, you’ve to cross your fingers and hope your tough wins in November and December still look good [...]

If you subscribe to Sports Illustrated (or have read about it elsewhere), you already know about Eric Devendorf’s latest claim to fame. Devo has the honor of sharing this week’s SI cover with Georgetown’s Roy Hibbert. Perfect. Right when the shots are all falling our way, we’re stuck with the [...]
