Watch Benny Williams in the top left as time expires vs. Wake. He is off the court, with 8 seconds remaining in regulation. Coaches try to grab him, but he’s gone before the handshake line. Things may be starting to add up here.

Call it whatever you want, but what's happening in Syracuse is special.
If Paul Finebaum or anyone else can't see that, I urge them to either look a little closer or keep this city's name out of their mouth.
I had the pleasure of speaking with
@Dcaggs
&
@Tdot_Terramiggi
this week. Both embody the best about being a Syracuse fan, helping fill the dome one free ticket at a time.

In the past 6 months i’ve learned a lot. For as much sadness there is in this world, there’s a hell of a lot more happiness, in the form of love and family. You two are my happiness. I can’t wait to see the both of you again. All of my love, keep eachother company up there.❤️
Today I had the privilege of sitting down with SU football PWO Anthony Johnson. His confidence is SOARING as he begins his senior season at CNS. I think it’s fair to say we will hearing a lot about him come fall.
One thing about me? I’d confidently follow Dyaisha Fair anywhere. Down a dark alleyway, through the Bermuda Triangle, up Everest. Lead the way Dyaisha, I’m right there with ya.
Today I was cornered by a group of 5th grade girls from my school.
Their leader, asked if I have a boyfriend (for some undetermined reason).
In response, I replied “no”.
They then collectively groaned in disgust.
The more this replays in my head, the more I feel attacked.
“Fran Brown arrived in the 315 in early December. Since then, he has been challenging what comes to mind when you think of Syracuse.”

One of the worst situations is having something that once brought you so much happiness turn into something that is the source of so many miserable thoughts and feelings.

This week I spoke with
@ethanmmcdowell
ahead of SU’s game against NC State.
He provides great insight on the Wolfpack’s season thus far, and expectations against ‘Cuse this weekend!

44 years of history calls for a trip down memory lane.
Here's to 44 years of greatness ahead. Happy birthday to one of the most iconic venues in all of sports!

Zeed Haynes goes to the locker room after that hit following his 12 yard catch for first down. Only two minutes left in the half, but still something to keep an eye on as the game develops.
There’s nobody better. Simple as that. This guy is going to achieve so much in his next endeavor and I can’t wait to cheer him on every step of the way. Blessed to know you 🧡💙

Listen, I don't even know what to say anymore. I'm at a loss for words. Officially speechless.
I don't know what Syracuse did to deserve Fran Brown, but the entire city is about to benefit from the energy surrounding this team.
So many things have been a long time coming for Women's College Basketball. For perspective, "March Madness" phrasing and branding just started being used in 2022.
The women deserve the neutral courts and the unique environments they create.
Three proven leaders are returning to Syracuse football, with unfinished business.
This week, exploring the impact of preserving culture in a time of change.
Opinion: Veteran trio returns to lead Syracuse football through time of transformation
Syracuse adds a CENTER🍊
Colorado transfer Eddie Lampkin Jr. posting to Instagram his commitment to SU. The 6-11, 265 pounder averaged 10 pts 7 reb with the Buffs
OPINION: For many here in Central New York, or at least those that live and breathe basketball, the name Joe Girard III was one we heard long before he ever wore the Orange.
Jim Boeheim has forgotten more about basketball than many of us could learn in several lifetimes. The wealth of knowledge that must live in his head is incomprehensible. Those are the kinds of people that I find most compelling as commentators.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself when I remember I literally get to work alongside Lawrence Moten.
Oh how I wish I could have been around to see him run the Big East.

Brackets are great and all, but a March Madness player draft is where the real fun is. Make that two player drafts, for good measure.
If you need me, I’ll be building a sick excel sheet.

The funeral procession for Lt. Michael Hoosock, headed to Assumption Cemetery.
He was killed last weekend in the line of duty, as was officer Michael Jensen of the Syracuse Police Department.
The Syracuse community, dealing with loss and emotion that exceeds words.
So proud of my best friend

... also know as the all-time leading score for the Varsity Girls Program @ Union Springs!!! You are so incredibly deserving, it’s an honor to get to play beside you and share this moment with you. Next stop, 1,000!💜🤩🏀
March brings out the best in me, and I want to share with SU fans the stories of a man who committed so much of his life to his love for this program.
Asking for your help in finding the people who sit in section 112, row J, seats 10 & 11.
A new episode of The Wolfpacker Show just dropped!

joined Ethan and Noah to preview NC State's showdown with Syracuse and discuss the Orange's strong start to the year.
WATCH:
Someone check me on this… but with the way Maliq Brown has been playing, could there be a bit of a battle in the post with UNC’s Armando Bacot? At this point, I can see Brown at least pestering him down the stretch.

At this time, I am accepting thoughts and prayers for my little ducky ahead of her big race. Tonight her performance will determine my Fantasy Football draft position.
Pt 1, updates to follow 🙏🏻
Just because teams beat up on each other in season, doesn’t mean they aren’t in a strong conference. THIS, actually makes a strong argument for the opposite.
The NET doesn’t always reflect that.
Christmas is over, and we are breaking down the best gifts from Frantaclaus!

This week, I spoke with the people living, competing, and winning through Le Moyne's transition to DI.
Beyond this new door, "basketball is still basketball," and the WBB team is embracing change, and evolving.
There’s an energy around Siena Basketball for the Gerry McNamara Era to begin. Caught up with the Syracuse legend and new Saints head coach today to talk about his team, Jim Boeheim and more. “We’ve been truly blessed to compile a group very quickly that stands for winning.”
It is such a pleasure to talk ‘Cuse sports as part of our job, and this week,

and I want everyone to be part of the conversation! Join us, James Mungro, and Lawrence Moten to take a deep dive into the STATE OF SU SPORTS!🍊
I had the honor of photographing the first ever like Woj Pod at Emerson College in 2019. This man has been a force in the world of sports, and crossing paths with him will forever be a favorite moment for me.

and I have something really good cooking up on The Orange Zone podcast.
SU v. UNC was such a good game… and thanks to what unfolded on the court, I feel super proud of what we delivered in this episode.
Check it out here:
So not one thing about my bracket is good, it hit the fan quick. I’m upset and disgusted with the decisions I made while making it. Watching these game and my bracket continuing to suffer is depressing. But I still can’t fight the march madness obsession.
#MarchMadness2018
I like to follow sports and in men's college basketball, all 362 Division 1 teams have finally won and lost a game so I can arrange each team into a "circle of parity." Each team defeated the team that is adjacent to it, going clockwise. March Madness is almost here.
Headlines called the recent meeting of Syracuse v. Georgetown an “old-school classic." I wonder what Jim Boeheim and John Thompson would think of that classification.
Opinion: The rise, fall, and dwindling hope of a SU v. Georgetown rivalry resurgence
