Scoop Gets Scooped From USA Select Team

(Editor's Note: CHIPOTLE STRIKES AGAIN!!!)

Well that's a bummer. Scoop Jardine, who was insanely excited for the opportunity to play in the USA Select Team this summer, did not make the final cut.

Feel free to blame head coach Jay Wright and hold that grudge against him this season when the Orange play Villanova. I hope Scoop will.

Here's what Scoop said a few weeks back when he was selected to the squad.

"This is the biggest opportunity of my basketball career," Jardine said. "To be able to help the national team and to get my foot in the door with the [national team] program, it's huge.

"Then, to be able to play against some of the greatest players in the world and have coach Boeheim there to watch all week and give me advice, it can only help me get better."

:( Though he did get some great experience working with the team the last few weeks, practicing with Team USA as recently as last week, so he doesn't come away empty-handed.

The remaining 10-man USA select team will train against the USA World Championship team August 10th-13th.

Damn it man, how many of these Syracuse players must I educate on the importance of Tully’s Tenders and their deliciousness over that Chipolte crap that curses our team? When was the last time you heard someone say they just got back from Tully’s and failed at anything? I feel like I need to petition the university to start a course on why they should make Tully’s a part of their every day routine and move a location on campus to make it even easier for those lacking on transportation.
