The latest focus of his ire? Basketball analyst Reggie Miller. Miller, like many folks last night, had a hard-on for Syracuse to play man-to-man defense against the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs and didn't understand why.
Within the same realm is the idea that we create everything that happens to us, good or bad. We manifest. If this is true, I wonder what it says about Syracuse Athletics or Syracuse fans that so many great moments have been overshadowed by atrocious refereeing that nullifies said great moment in the eyes of the public?
The one-seed Syracuse Orange (somehow) defeated the 16-seed UNC-Asheville Bulldogs in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament on Thursday. Here's what people have to say about it.
The one-seed Syracuse Orange survived, and survived is the right word, in a 72-65 win over the 16-seed UNC-Asheville Bulldogs on Thursday in the first round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament.
Why didn't anyone tell us that Bruce Hornsby's kid is in the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs?
This is it. At approx. 3:10 p.m. EST, the one-seed Syracuse Orange will kick off their 2012 NCAA Tournament conquest against the 16-seed UNC-Asheville Buldogs. Make sure you know everything you need to know.
When the Syracuse Orange take on the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs Thursday at 3:10 p.m. EST, they'll be squaring off for the fourth time ever. As you probably assumed, Syracuse has won all three previous meetings.
As we prepare for the 73rd Annual Hunger Games to begin, let's take a look at the participants to see who has a chance of surviving and whose face we'll see in the sky at the end of the day one.
We're excited to be one of their first partners to launch TiqIQ Connect, a new app from TiqIQ that allows you to update your game status, choosing either 1) Going 2) Maybe going or 3) No/watching. The below image walks you through each step.
Fab Melo will not play for the Syracuse Orange in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. Now what?
Fabricio de Melo, Big East Defensive Player of the Year, will miss the NCAA Tournament "due to an eligibility issue."
ust like that, a 31-2 team that was No. 1 in the country for six weeks is playing against the expectation that they're going to lose sooner than later. The national perception is that they're not only the weakest one-seed, but possibly the weakest team amongst all of the one and two seeds...Perfect.
