SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syracuse welcomed Chris Bell and the California Golden Bears to town for the first game of a two-game homestand, and it was an absolute wire-to-wire thriller in the Dome, one that would need more than the forty regulated minutes.

One of the great TV villains of all time, King Joffrey, was killed in Game of Thrones. Sidney Crosby was the only 100-point scorer in the NHL and Drew…

Despite Bennett Stirtz’s 32 points, 6 assists, and no turnovers, the Iowa Hawkeyes (18-6, 8-5) could never really find a team-wide groove in a 77-70 loss at Maryland (10-14, 3-10).
