It’s just another reminder that the Big East we’ve known and loved for so many years will come to an end this season. And while realignment has ended so many rivalries in recent years, none have been as influential to the sport as Georgetown and Syracuse.

"I think there’s so much more in Roc and we’re not getting it," SU coach Jim Boeheim said. "He plays three minutes, he gets two or three blocks and three rebounds and we’re a different team.

Five tips for students running a brand’s social media presence | The Digital Careerist
This post was inspired by a conversation I was having last night with two fellow social media professionals that I respect very much. Syracuse University found itself under fire when a student on the university’s official Twitter shared a link to a blog post about an uncredited rumor that men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim was retiring. The tweet was later deleted, but it didn’t matter; the damage had been done. The gaffe was picked up by USA Today, Deadspin, and several other publications, calling it a "social media fail."
Because he has to understand that it is far more interesting to make decisions than suggestions, Mike Hopkins may well listen to those Sirens if they do sing to him from that University of Southern California basketball shore.
"The one and done thing, the NBA thing is just toxic. That's what's going on at Syracuse. You got Michael Carter-Williams, who midway through the season going 'oh, he's a lottery pick. Nobody stops to think, well he can't really shoot. He doesn't play man-to-man defense. Who knows if he can guard pick and roll. It feels like he is listening to people other than Jim Boeheim. But that is happening throughout the country."
