Syracuse Basketball is riding a three game win streak and things are not as bleak as they once were. Sure, the Orange are not out of the woods yet, but they have certainly been playing much improved the last few games.
During this win streak, Syracuse basketball has beat a decent Wake Forest club, toppled a top-ten foe
in #6 Florida State, and got their first road win of the season at NC State. Up next is a match up with #9 Virginia Cavaliers who are 17-4 this year.
Now, technically Syracuse University is not supposed to address this, as Neil Adler does here at Inside the Loud House, but there’s more on the line in this game than most people know about. Jim Boeheim is going for win number 1,000 tomorrow. The NCAA vacated 108 wins due to sanctions, so he really he sits at 898 wins, but as Troy Nunes writer Ben Sigel says, “The NCAA be damned.”
For those faithful Syracuse fans who are still counting how many games Jim Boeheim has coached that the opposing team has lost (which the NCAA does not vacate), then he has done so 999 times. Jay Bilas thanks for reminding us:
NCAA does NOT vacate losses. Jim Boeheim has coached 999 games in which the other team lost. Boeheim has handed his SU opponents 999 losses!
