No Stoppin' 20-1 Syracuse!
If I could only use one word to define the 2010 Syracuse men’s basketball team it would be: TEAMWORK. Working their way up the ranks (currently ranked #4 in the nation) this cohesive team could prove to be Jim Boeheim’s golden ticket to another championship!
After demolishing Georgetown 73-56 (after a rocky start) and witnessing Kentucky (the #1 ranked team) lose to un-ranked South Carolina in last night’s upset, it will be interesting to see where Syracuse ends up in the rankings. Syracuse currently boasts a 20-1 record… with their only loss of the season to #17 Pitt.

Orange Hoopin'
What an incredible win for Syracuse basketball!! Ranked #25, Syracuse dominated North Carolina (#4) to win the Coaches vs Cancer Tournament! Congrats!!
I don’t want to jinx the season, but I think this could be the year for Jim Boeheim to lead Syracuse to the Championship. With Senior, Andy Rautins back on the court he’s leading this young and extremely talented team. Commentators are already pointing out Junior transfer, Wes Johnson as being a top draft contender and the Freshmen are looking confident and promising.
Let the 2010 Syracuse Basketball Season begin!!
