A look back: Jimmer finds way to BYU with a big assist from a Syracuse coach
"It was one of those things where we didn't want to take too many," said Hopkins, one of Syracuse's all-time most popular players who has been on Jim Boeheim's staff for 15 years.

Those offensive problems and the team's inexplicable 0-4 record at the Carrier Dome against FBS opponents put a small damper on the enthusiasm for this season. Still, there's no way Marrone's second year could be considered anything but a major leap forward for the program.
Big East Football Power Rankings Week 14 - The UConn Blog
Here's a fun dynamic though: the top three teams in this poll could very well have different coaches by the time we start next season. That's not the case for Syracuse, South Florida or Louisville, all of which have either a first- or second-year coach and bright futures.

Otto's Army : Orange Face Green Menace At The Garden
On an encouraging note, a loss at MSG Tuesday night wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world for Syracuse. Hate to break it to the unaware, but we have not played like anything close to a top-10 team this season, and a more realistic ranking might serve as a springboard into conference play.
