Perhaps the icing on the cake to the end of the Babers era today: Tommy DeVito, a QB that Syracuse could never create a gameplan for or protect adequately, is throwing for almost 250 yards and 3 TDs in an NFL game.

HUGE win for Syracuse here. Road victory against a ranked team, plus proves that Orange weren't same team in MSG without Frank Howard. Should help come March.

Syracuse had every chance to win here, but:
a) Didn't make any defensive adjustments in the second half
b) Fell in love with the three
c) Every shooter went ice cold at the worst possible time
Don't bother blaming Frank. This team could've won without him today. Just didn't.

Here's what I'll say about Syracuse men's basketball this year: Team with three guys at 6'10"+ gets out-rebounded most nights, and great college scorer wasted by having no real set offense while no one else can hit shots consistently. Someone has to have answers for why.

ranking up at No. 19:
- Got credit for playing Clemson to the wire
- Helped by NC State perception by committee
- Two more shots at big wins in (4) Notre Dame, (22) BC
- Legit path to get to access bowl here (need to win out, though)

If Syracuse wasn't leading for most of the game, I'd take a four-point loss to Clemson every time. Despite fourth quarter problems, do have to hand it to this team. Outplayed Tigers for seven of last eight quarters.

Not trying to sugarcoat this loss, but it’s very clear Syracuse hasn’t quit on Babers and there are a lot of great pieces on this team. They need a better O-line and better QB play - not small fixes - but you can see how this team gets back to respectability.

If true, this is absolutely insane and is the sort of thing that could set the program back years.
Kadary Richmond started three games a freshman, all three of which were when Buddy Boeheim was out due to COVID-19 protocol. Per source, Jim Boeheim told Richmond that Joe Girard III is slated to start again next year.

Truly insane. Syracuse’s teams have struggled. The media that covers the team — including
@BrentAxeMedia
— fairly critiques those struggles. They have no obligation to go easy on what’s been a significant rough patch (especially for men’s basketball).
Radio host Brent Axe was fired from ESPN Radio Syracuse for being "overly negative" about SU sports during his drive-time radio program.
