Bracket Angst

Maybe it was the snow, cold and slick turf; or maybe it was moving the contest to Onondaga Hill, but one thing is certain: Carolina is becoming a stumbling block for Syracuse University sports fans. In March, the men’s basketball team fell short in the NCAA semi finals to the University of North Carolina (UNC), and today , with ACC bragging rights and a shot at the Soccer Cup Final Four at stake, the Tarheels used a physical defense and clock management to outlast the maximum effort of the Orangemen at Onondaga Community College’s David W. Murphy Field. The final score was 1-0.

The two teams battled to a 0-0 double overtime tie in September.

During his visit to Syracuse last week Dominic Waza Scicluna, coach of Detroit Waza Flo, put on a great half time show of soccer skills. We heard he has an album coming out at the end of the week. Next time maybe he'll do a pre-game concert.
