The Syracuse Orange has fired assistant coach Bernie Fine after another allegation of sexual misconduct surfaced. In addition, head coach Jim Boeheim issued a statement of apology for so vehemently defending Fine against the allegations.
That now makes three different men who have come forward and claimed that Fine abused them when they were younger.
For Syracuse, it became obvious that they needed to do something quickly to avoid a situation that bears some similarities to Penn State.
Fine, who was in his 36th year at the school, continues to plead his innocence, but things aren’t looking good for him.

Syracuse shot over 55 percent from the field, but only 33 percent from three-point range and attempted just seven free throws. (Read More…)

March is the time every college basketball team hopes to play its best basketball, and the Syracuse Orange hit the third month of 2011 on a roll.
The Orange closed February with four wins in a row, even more impressive considering Syracuse is part of the rugged Big East Conference, a league which features eight teams ranked in the top 19 this week. (Read More…)

The Syracuse Orange hung on for a 36-34 win over the Kansas State Wildcats in the Pinstripe Bowl.
The Orange was the beneficiary of a questionable call that cost Kansas State a legitimate shot to tie the game.
Because of an unsportsmanlike penalty, the Wildcats had to try and score the game-tying two-point conversion from the 18-yard line.
Syracuse was able to force the incompletion with just over one minute to play, and held on for the win. (Read More…)

Syracuse Orange head coach Jim Boeheim has been voted the Associated Press Coach of the Year.
While the Orange had a disappointing finish, no one can argue with Boeheim’s impressive coaching job.
The Orange lost a number of key stars off of last year’s team, a couple of which are now in the NBA.
Instead of rebuilding the program, Boeheim just reloaded around a mixed group of veterans and young players.
He guided Syracuse to the Big East regular season championship and an appearance in the Sweet 16.

The Syracuse Orange rallied back from a deficit but ultimately came up short in a 63-59 loss to the Butler Bulldogs.
Syracuse’s vaunted 2-3 zone actually did it’s job, forcing Butler into a terrible night shooting from behind the arc.
Unfortunately, the Orange turned the ball over 18 times to give Butler plenty of fast-break points.
Syracuse was considered the favorite to get to the national championship game, along with Kentucky, after Kansas went down.
The team was without their starting center for the tournament, but it’s still a very disappointing loss after such a strong season.
