(AP) — Overcoming all sorts of adversity has been the norm for the Syracuse Orange of late. Player eligibility issues, negative headlines, slumps at inopportune times — something seems to creep up each season for longtime coach Jim Boeheim. He figures he's not alone. "There's no team that doesn't have distractions during the course of the y...

The new Jim Boeheim and his more player-friendly attitude will be there as well. Syracuse's 55-39 victory over Marquette on Saturday sent the Orange on to the Final Four for the fourth time under Boeheim, a man as synonymous with his school as the Carri...

It's 40 minutes of trapping and shot-challenging, of closing off angles, of trusting teammates. "We showed," senior guard Brendan Triche said, "that defense wins games." Yes, the Orange D certainly does. ...

(AP) — A 12-minute drought without a field goal. Six made baskets in the second half. Fifteen missed free throws. Those ugly offensive numbers somehow added up to an NCAA tournament win for Syracuse thanks to a suffocating zone defense that took California and its hometown fans out of the game. C.J. Fair scored 18 points, James Southerlan...

Not a bad way for the Big East to take a bow. Syracuse and Louisville are all set to square off in the championship game of this farewell tournament Saturday night.

Of course, 40 minutes wasn't enough to decide it. And that was only fitting. Brandon Triche scored the go-ahead basket early in overtime and No. 19 Syracuse advanced to the Big East championship game with a 58-55 victory over N...

Thirty-three years after his father became persona non grata in Syracuse, Thompson and star Otto Porter added their names to the lore of the Georgetown-Syracuse rivalry. Porter scored a career-...

When Connecticut's 66-58 victory over No. 6 Syracuse was official Wednesday night, it meant the end of a rivalry for now. The two national powers are not scheduled to play again. Syracuse will play next season in the Atlantic Coast Conference, while Conn...

(AP) — It took only one half for James Southerland to knock off the rust. Then Syracuse's sharp-shooting senior forward celebrated his return to the lineup by helping sink a St. John's team that was reeling from the death of coach Steve Lavin's father. Playing for the first time in seven games, Southerland scored 13 points, hitting back-to-...

Hundreds of Villanova students trampled the court like a bull rush and the game-saving point guard was the target. One overzealous fan tried to strip him of his No. 15 jersey. Hey, it's not every day the Wildcats knock off a Top 5 team — though they sure are trying. ...
