It could have been 1983, or 2003. It was 2013 with Syracuse in the Final Four again. Old-style Big East basketball gets another day in the sun, even though Syracuse is heading to the Atlantic Coast Conference next season. The last time Syracuse was in the Final four, Knicks star player Carmelo Anthony lead them to the Championship.
At the final buzzer, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim stood with his hands hanging by his side and sighed. He is 68, and there is little he has not seen. Even a victory that sends his team to the Final Four, as Saturday’s 55-39 victory over Marquette.
