No Nerlens Noel for Syracuse? On to the next thing ... | syracuse.com
Syracuse still has a loaded front court without Noel of DaJuan Coleman, Baye Keita, Rakeem Christmas, and C.J Fair. What did Georgetown get out of this? A copy of the home game?

SU’s won’t be exactly desolate, though. Three heads -- Keita, Christmas and Coleman -- may, may, prove to be better than one. No matter how much hair sits atop it.

Along with thousands of other Syracuse fans, I was not at all surprised to learn that Fab Melo and Dion Waiters won't be returning for another chance at the NCAA title. Do I wish they would've come back? As a fan, yes. That being said, do I think players have every right to leave? Absolutely.

Before he announced, Twitter was buzzing that he'd go to Georgetown, which might have been even cooler than Kentucky. Watching a one-and-done superstar play for a buttoned-up powerhouse like Georgetown would have been so much more interesting than seeing another freak of nature go through Calipari's machine in Lexington. Having said that, he probably made the right call, and this image will be so much fun for the next 12 months.

Most Valuable Player: Dion Waiters Waiters was often a spark to the offense that couldn’t always get going. When he was in the game, the offense had someone who could get to the hoop and score. But where Waiters was most valuable was on the defensive end of the ball. He forced turnovers and was the reason the Syracuse transition game was so highly touted this season. He is a creator on the court and it’s no surprise that he’s headed off to start his NBA career.

"That’s what Cornell does," head coach John Desko said. "They’re ferocious on ground balls. They get over defensively to pressure you when they can. They try and double-team you in the open field, and we had to take advantage of those situations to get goals and we didn’t."

"One of the reasons we put him out there was because of his personality," Desko said. "He doesn’t get rattled easily, at least not in practice, and I think we evaluated that well going into the Princeton game and he showed it. He proved to us as a coaching staff that he’s up for anything we give him."

"A Syracuse fan lost a bet to me which required him to dress up like the Brutus the Buckeye mascot to watch the following Final Four games. The costume entails a big, paper mache helmet that I'd create especially for him.

Luis helped me, thankfully, because patience is not one of my virtues and I blew two fuses and wanted to rush painting when the paper mache hadn't dried. And, he thought savvy enough, to put bubble wrap on the inside to cushion the blunt of random slaps to the head. Which Katie did a few times."
