Quest for 800

Part 1:

Tonight Jimmy B goes for the record. Stuck on win number 799 after a tough, lopsided loss to Oklahoma in the Sweet 16, Jim goes for number800 tonight at the Carrier Dome against Albany. Usually this is a game that would be a breather for the Orange Nation, however after a tough loss to the ugly sister down Erie Blvd. (Le Moyne), can’t believe I just wrote that…the Orange are just hoping this doesn’t turn out like last week. I fully expect a dominating performance, however we will see.

Jim has spent his entire career at SU, and has made this program what it is. 800 is truly an honor, but don’t tell Jim anything is going on…

“I’m not concerned about anything except this team (and) getting this team ready. Period. That’s it. Nothing else.’’…’While Boeheim stands on the precipice of joining Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Connecticut’s Jim Calhoun as the only active Division I coaches in the 800-win club, Boeheim’s current outfit stands on the precipice of win No. 1. “ (MIKE WATERS SYRACUSE.COM)

CHEERS JIM!
