Boeheim Has an Uncharacteristically Hot Mic

We’re without the services of Dan Shanoff and his Wake-Up Call this morning, so because that’s obviously your only source for last night’s sporting action, you definitely missed what happened at Syracuse. The Orange managed to tie the game against inferior Cleveland State with 2.2 seconds left after trailing late. But then, Cedric Jackson threw up a prayer from about 60-feet, which of course went in, and the Vikings emerged victorious. It was about as thrilling as a game between a bottom tier Big East team and a Horizon League opponent can be (watch the final seconds).

That shot wasn’t the best part of the evening, however. No, that came during Jim Boeheim’s post-game press conference where the sound man decided the coach hadn’t already experienced a bad enough night. Hilarity ensues:

UPDATE: A commenter informs us that this video actually took place after Saturday night's win over Long Beach State. Either way, it's hilarious.

Well Chris, apparently you didn’t do your homework.  That "mic check" actually took place after the Long Beach St. game in which Syracuse manhandled their opponent.  And about the comment of Syracuse being a lower tier team in the big east?  The last time I checked, Syracuse was ranked #11 in the country and had a better record than 14 of the 18 teams in what most consider the best league ever assembled.  Do your research before you post you moron. That is a pretty funny video though.

Sorry, how’s "middle tier"? Better? That doesn’t mean they aren’t a good team, but there are a handful of Big East teams better than them. Like you said, it’s an incredible conference this season, so even being the 6th or 7th best team isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Anyway, the entire point of the post was the hilarity of that video, so I’m glad you at least enjoyed that.
