All love for the 'Cuse 🍊🧡

Bill Raftery has this exact same reaction when he hears “last call” at any bar.

@MikeWatersSYR No Laettner miracle there!

Oh, the ledes that are being deleted and rewritten.

@ProfNich Yes! Charlie was the best.

@RobStronach You know I was his stats guy, right? Along with the late great Charlie Bivins,

To paraphrase the late great Joel Mareiniss - "In about an hour somebody is going to be very happy and somebody is going to be very sad."

.@Coach_McNamara joins @KevinNegandhi on SportsCenter to discuss coming back to Syracuse as their newest head coach 🍊

Hey Nate, Liberace called. He wants his jacket back.

@StanfieldKevin @GlobeBobRyan @RushmoreLists Billy Bob Thornton?

@GlobeBobRyan @RushmoreLists Megan Thee Stallion?

Let’s make a Mt Rushmore of people who go by their full name (first-middle-last). Our four: Mary Tyler Moore Martin Luther King (Jr) James Earl Jones Edgar Allen Poe Who else goes/went by all three names?

@CarpLax @BrownU_MLAX @UVAMensLax @Inside_Lacrosse @DomStarsiaPLL @olivermarti11 @jamiemunro3 @HarlemLacrosse @dan_aburn_ @lars_tiffany Well deserved, @DomStarsiaPLL ! Congrats!

As the longtime head coach of the University of Virginia, Starsia helped define an era marked by excellence and a reverence for lacrosse as more than competition alone. Starsia’s journey to lacrosse was anything but conventional. A football player from Long Island, he arrived at Brown University with no prior exposure to the game. That changed when he met Dave White, a Mohawk lacrosse player who placed a stick in his hands. Starsia played lacrosse at the collegiate level, internationally, and professionally, while developing as a coach. Under his leadership, the Cavaliers captured four NCAA national championships. Starsia was honored three times as National Coach of the Year. Starsia’s impact extended beyond trophies and records. He has been a strong voice promoting the game’s Haudenosaunee roots as well as bringing lacrosse into the inner city through his affiliation with Harlem Lacrosse. The 2026 Alfie Jacques Ambassador Award ceremony will be held in Syracuse, New York, on September 11.

Let’s get to work! 🍊💪 cuse.com/mbbgivingday

This has gone official. McNamara with a telling quote: "College basketball has changed. How you build a program, recruit talent, compete for resources and win looks different than it did even five years ago. I know that. I'm ready for it.”

UPDATE: The deal between Syracuse and Siena coach Gerry McNamara has been finalized, per ESPN sources. He’s set to be announced as Syracuse’s next coach later today.

"[Syracuse] got themselves the PERFECT choice to be the head coach!" @AdamSchein breaks down Syracuse's coaching hire of Gerry McNamara 🍊 Watch here NOW ➡️ trib.al/PYmofAO

@ProfNich But without the wardrobe changes.

Raf is the Diana Ross of sports broadcasting. Still going strong at 82.

Sources: Syracuse is working to finalize a deal to hire Siena coach Gerry McNamara as the school’s next head coach, per me and @jeffborzello. McNamara won a national championship as a player at Syracuse and led Siena to the NCAA Tournament this year.

"Gerry McNamara should be at the top of the list [for Syracuse]." @AdamSchein credits Siena HC Gerry McNamara Watch here NOW ➡️ trib.al/kinISXu

"You can't make a better audition to be a power conference head coach than what Gerry McNamara did against Duke yesterday." – @JonRothstein on Gerry McNamara.

"G-Mac, he outcoached me." Jon Scheyer told @TracyWolfson that there's a lot Duke can learn from this game.

I'm wondering if this convinces some Syracuse fans that it's not the worst thing to keep it in the family and hire McNamara. Dude can obviously coach his tail off.

@MikeWatersSYR I'm running on Cakebread Sauv Blanc.

Siena is running on fumes and adrenaline
