Otto at the Dome: Bring it On!
By 5:30 pm the temperature dipped to single digits and wind chills made things worse, ailment students were packing up their tents and leaving Boeheimburg. They will return to line up again on Friday, but then they will be inside the temperature-controlled Carrier Dome. A record crowd is expected for the SU v. Duke game on Saturday.

ESPN announcer and SU grad (’84) Sean McDonough spoke at Newhouse School of Communications on Friday.
Veteran sports journalist Sean McDonough has covered everything from the Olympics and The Masters to the World Series. On Friday, he advised SU students to get as much practical experience as they could on the Hill and early in their careers. And although he graduated 30 years ago, he still finds himself rooting for SU when they are televised (but not when he’s doing play-by of course).
McDonough called today’s SU v. Miami game with Kara Lawson.
Sensei Bolo (from the Bronx) recently visited Syracuse’s Excel Martial Arts Training Center to promote El Java Qadir (right) to the position of Renshi, which roughly translates to “polished master.”
Hoop star Breanna Stewart (from her CNS days)
She’s been called the Kevin Durant of women’s game (although Durant doesn’t have her college resume), but maybe the best way describe Breanna Stewart is passion meets talent. Before it’s said and done she will probably be the most decorated baller from this area (currently she’s a close second to Dolph Schayes).
We wonder who will design her signature shoe once she goes pro?
