Tomorrow night, Gerry McNamara, Jonny Flynn, Adrian Autry, John Wallace, Lawrence Moten and whole host of Syracuse Orange basketball legends will take the court for the Midnight Madness Legends Game.
It's Christmas (or Hanukkah) in October for Syracuse fans.
One team will be coached by Derrick Coleman and Pearl Washington. That team will consist of Lazarus Sims, John Wallace, Donte Greene, Adrian Autry, Hakim Warrick and Lawrence Moten.
The other team will be coached by Mike Hopkins and Billy Owens. That squad will include Jonny Flynn, Wes Johnson, Gerry McNamara, Howard Triche and Roosevelt Bouie.
And so, let's turn this into a contest, shall we? The folks at Propcorn (started by an SU alum) have been kind enough to offer up a vote tabulator to help us decide which team will win the game. Go ahead and place your vote below.
In order to qualify you for the contest, you then have to leave a bonus answer in the comments: WHO WILL SCORE THE FINAL POINTS OF THE GAME? Could be a three-pointer, a two-point shot or a free throw. Doesn't matter. I'm looking for the Syracuse Legend that scores last.
In the event of a tie, I'll throw the names in a figurative hat and pick one winner.
Pick your game winner, leave your bonus answer below and the winner will get a signed copy of How To Grow An Orange.

It’s for Propcorn, so we can track who won or lost. If you’d prefer the old fashioned way you can always do that on the physical site, we just thought this would be easier for everyone involved…..
ah. right.
here’s the link to the old timey kind of registration: http://www.propcorn.com/accounts/logout.php once you’re signed in on the site your computer will know you’re signed in on this page through the magic of the internet and you can take a side.
Hope that helps!
I cannot wait for tomorrow evening!!!
so giddy!!! autographs! I need all their autographs!!
Since the early 1990's I have not been able to get Mike Hopkins' bloody face out of my brain. I don't remember what game it was but I'll never forget that as my first memory of SU basketball. Mike Hopkins, bloody face, bloody nose, all for the love of Syracuse.
Moten.
He is the Big East all-time leading scorer, so why not.

Does a Warrick block of the last shoot count?
Cause if it did, that would be cool too. :P
I’ll pick him for the last points for the fun of it as well.
Moten
You can’t guard a guy with socks so tall.

I got to go with G-mac

I'm taking Team Hopkins
with a G-Mac 3 being the last points.
Team Hopkins
It has 5 people. So when Carmelo shows up, you know what team he will be slotted into.
Dictated, but not read.
Carmelo Anthony
will score the last points of the game.
Wes gets the last points
as a tie-breaker: Jonny alley-oops it to him for a thunderous dunk.
Ps – Here’s hoping espn3.com doesn’t blow tmrw night.

I SOOOO wish I lived in the Cuse....
…..They better not F us on ESPN by making us watch Puke and Cheatapari instead of this game….
I'm going with G-Mac on a long 3 pt
By the end of the game, he’ll be knocking them down from 40 feet and the old heave-ho is good in any situation. If his team is comfortably up, it’ll be a “you can’t guard me” heat check. If it’s a close game, it’ll be a potential game-winner. And if his team is getting blown out it’ll be a “you’re just lucky I didn’t hit more of these”. Why isn’t Andy playing? It’s not like he has anthing better to do. I’d love to see a long distance shootout with him and G-Mac.

Just
seeing Red, John Wallace and Moten on the same team for the first time since Mizzou in the 94 tourney is going to be nice. To hell with who wins!! Oh btw those of you voting against DC and Pearls team, youre nuts!! Just Hak and Wallace down low is more than enough
I have no interest in letting some internet site
access my facebook data and send emails directly to me. Hops team wins, and Flynn gets the last points, but I probably don’t qualify for the contest because i’m “paranoid”
If you don't want us to email you
but you still want to check out our site and create an account, you can (a reasonable request, although don’t send spam). I will remove your email address from our list and you will not get an email from us. Period. I promise.
the manual signup form is here (so you don’t have to use facebook connect if you’d prefer not to): http://www.propcorn.com/accounts/register.php)

Awesome!
And I promise, you won’t get a single email…. Unless you change your mind and let us know.
Good luck!
(I think it’s going to be Donte hitting the final shot…. fulfilling the Dynasty hype….. or something…..)
John Wallace for the final basket scored.
But Team Hopkins will take home the victory.
Clear eyes, full bologna sandwiches!
I love John Wallace
That guy was totally the man. Too bad he never had a really great NBA career after being a first draft pick.
Other people look, Andy Rautins can SEE.
Gerry always scores last
Or he will kill everyone in attendance. Your choice, Syracuse.

Hopkins Owens with the victory,
Hakim Warrick scores the last points
Someone please tell me
This game will be memorialized on video somehow. Also, is it out of line to predict Melo makes a surprise appearance? It looks to me like Flynn’s squad is short a man…
That would be very un-Melo-like though.
One of these days I'll think of something clever to put here...
Team Hopkins/Owens..
and I’ll go with the underdog and pick Triche for the last points.

GMAC ends the game with a 3!
