Syracuse Basketball: Looking back on the greatest memories in Orange history

During the coronavirus outbreak we don’t have sports in the present, so let’s reminisce about your favorite Syracuse basketball memories from the past!

As Syracuse basketball fans we often reminisce about countless memories that we’ve experienced together watching the Orange. Whether these memories are joyous or heartbreak they are ours. These moments are filled with great athletes, great shots, and great fans.

As fans of the Orange, our initial connection with the team is a cherished memory that we look back on.

For myself, a bandwagon Orange fan, my first associated memory with Syracuse basketball is listening to the Final Four win against Texas and the National Championship game vs Kansas on the radio. Since then I have been hooked.

But these memories are not just because of the players on the court.

Sure Jonny Flynn leading against Georgetown in overtime at the Carrier Dome or being at Michael Gbinije’s senior night. Seeing him score 34 to beat North Carolina State and hit 1,000 points in his Syracuse career.

But I also have memories of walking down Marshall Street before a big game or after an exciting win or an excruciating loss.

Waiting in line for a slice at the Varsity like countless other fellow Syracuse fans. I remember going to games with my mom, my dad, my sister, my family, and my friends. The people we watch and attend games with, the places we go and experience are just as important to what makes these memories so special, almost as much or more than the game itself.

That is why in a time without sports, a time where we are all reflecting on our favorite sports moments, I am interested in hearing what Syracuse fans’ favorite memories are. It doesn’t have to be a specific Syracuse win or loss or heck even a player accomplishing something.

Your favorite memory, why it is special to you. It can because of who you watched with, where you watched it, whatever the case is we are looking forward to hearing it. So please share what special Syracuse memories you have by commenting below, on our social media feeds (Inside the Loud House on Facebook and Twitter) or by tweeting your favorite ones at me (you can do so here).

During these trying times, let’s all band together, hand-in-hand, and remember the good times and know more are coming eventually on the horizon.
