I shit you not. It was their exhibition game, so it won’t count against their record, but it certainly counts against their manhood. ‘Cuse, ranked #25 in the pre-season polls, was stunned at The Carrier Dome 82-79 by Division II LeMoyne.
“Le Moyne really outplayed us from the beginning of the game to the end,” Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. “They [the Orange] are very, very young mentally. They really have got to grow up. We couldn’t stop them on the dribble. That’s something we’ve been looking at in practice.”
That quote from Boeheim really bodes well for us this year. Can’t stop the dribble? Against LeMoyne? You play a freaking 2-3 zone. I’ve got you in my prayers Syracuse fans.
…No, I’m not nervous for Kutztown now…

Oh. Effing. Snap.
How? How do you lose to “LeMoyne?”
Is that even a real school?
As a preseason game, what are the odds that this makes national news?
