NewsChannel 9 - Local Sports News- No. 2 Syracuse 64-61 in OT over No. 12 Georgetown (Feb 8, 2012)
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Kris Joseph scored a career-high 29 points, hitting a go-ahead 3-pointer in the final minute of overtime, and No. 2 Syracuse beat 12th-ranked Georgetown 64-61 on Wednesday night to give coach Jim Boeheim his 880th career win.
Boeheim took sole possession of third place all-time in Division I, one more than North Carolina's Dean Smith, but it wasn't easy against the Orange's rival.
The game was tied at 55 after regulation, and Otto Porter scored the first four points of overtime for the Hoyas, swishing two free throws and hitting a baseline jumper to give Georgetown 61-59 lead with 2:19 left.
Dion Waiters tied it with a pair of free throws for the Orange, and after Porter lost the ball out of bounds at the other end, Scoop Jardine fed Joseph in the left corner, and he buried his career-best sixth 3 of the game with 29 seconds left.
Jardine sealed it by forcing a turnover by Jason Clark with 4.9 seconds to go, allowing Syracuse (24-1, 11-1 Big East) to remain unbeaten at home at 16-0. Georgetown (18-5, 8-4), had won five of six entering the game.
- SU, Georgetown renew rivalry tonight at Carrier Dome (Feb 8, 2012)
Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - Tonight, Syracuse University will face traditional rival Georgetown at the Carrier Dome. Fans have been gearing up for the showdown between two ranked teams for several days, with some students camping out to get fronts row seats. SU enters the game ranked No.2 in both polls, while the Hoyas are ranked No. 12 in the Associated Press poll and No. 11 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll. The Orange are 23-1 overall, while Georgetown is 18-4. The Orange is tops in the Big East at 10-3. Georgetown’s conference record is 8-3. Senior guard Jason Clark leads the Hoyas with 15.4 points per game. The Orange recently saw the return of sophomore center Fab Melo. He joined the team just in time to help it rout St. John’s at Madison Square Garden on Saturday. - More than 26,000 tickets sold for Georgetown game; where to park (Feb 7, 2012)
Syracuse (WSYR-TV) -- More than 26,000 tickets have been sold to see old rivals Syracuse and Georgetown go at it in the Dome Wednesday. It will be the biggest weeknight crowd in at least a year. Students are already lining up, waiting to get in. Remember, the student section is on a first come, first served basis. The first students got in line Friday morning and have been camping out in rotation with some friends ever since. Students won’t have trouble getting to the game, but if you’re going, it’s best to have an idea where you’re going to park before you actually arrive. It’ll save you time and hassles – unless of course you have a season’s pass. Without a season's pass you can forget about parking in the lots right around the Dome. That includes the women’s building. Staffers that normally park there during the day don’t have to leave, but the head of parking, Dee Bailey, says it’s a well choreographed dance between daytime parkers and event parkers. Bailey says the best bet for fans attending a single game is to head right to the Manley Field House lots. It’ll cost you $12, which includes the shuttle to the Dome. Those lots open at 4 p.m. and the first buses will start between 5 and 5:30 p.m. "You have all those employees and students that park out there and you can tell the buses that are coming in, dropping off the students, they open up the spaces for the patrons, so it's excellent how it all works out,” Bailey said. The Manley and Skytop lots fit about 2,000 cars for football, so those wanting to see the Orange take on Georgetown will have plenty of room for parking. - Giants celebrate win with victory parade (Feb 7, 2012)
NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Giants are returning from their Super Bowl win to a celebration the likes that only New York can throw: a ticker-tape parade in the Canyon of Heroes on Broadway, where the city has honored stars for almost a century.
Members of the Giants will be showered with a mile of confetti as they travel up Broadway from Battery Place. Then, in a ceremony at City Hall Plaza, the team will be presented with symbolic keys to the city.
"Big Blue gave us a game to remember, and on Tuesday we're going to give them a parade to remember," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said after Sunday's triumph in Indianapolis.
The parade for the Super Bowl champions will have an estimated economic impact of up to $38 million for the city, depending on the number of spectators, Bloomberg said. As many as 1 million are expected - about a third of them from outside New York.
After the parade, the team will travel to New Jersey for a 3 p.m. rally at Met Life stadium.
This will be the second Super Bowl championship parade for the Giants in four years. They also beat the Patriots in the NFL title game in 2008.
But it's hard to imagine a victory more exciting than the Giants' last-minute, 21-17 victory over the Patriots.
The hero of this year's parade undoubtedly will be Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning. The Giants quarterback and Mario Manningham connected on a clutch play, as the receiver made an over-the-shoulder catch along the sideline on the opening play of the game-winning drive.
On Monday, 250 fans nabbed pairs of tickets to the festivities at City Hall. About 50,000 people entered sweepstakes for a place at the ceremony.
The parade itself is open to all and promises to draw impenetrable crowds behind police barricades, as it did four years ago.
Three large screens around City Hall will allow members of the public to watch the ceremony. Streets will be closed between Broadway and Church Street from Canal to Pearl streets, as will Brooklyn Bridge access to and from Park Row.
New York has feted its public heroes since 1919, with the first parade for World War I General John Pershing and his victorious troops.
They were followed by more than 200 parades honoring everyone from aviator Charles Lindbergh to scientist Albert Einstein, Pope John Paul, South African leader Nelson Mandela and pianist Van Cliburn. Their names are chiseled into the Broadway sidewalks.
The Giants will be showered with at least 30 tons of manufactured confetti from skyscrapers lining Broadway.
- Super Bowl-champion Giants return home (Feb 6, 2012)
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - The Super Bowl-champion New York Giants have returned home.
The team's charter plane touched down around 1:55 p.m. Monday at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.
Several players saluted the crowd as they departed the aircraft, and some used cameras and video recorders to capture the moment and the scene. Coach Tom Coughlin also had a big smile as he waved to the crowd.
Once on the ground, the players, coaches and team officials were greeted by several hundred airport employees and a Port Authority bagpipe band. Crews also fired a water cannon to salute the team while the plane taxied to a hangar.
The players then took buses to the team's headquarters in East Rutherford, where thousands of fans lined the gates waiting to catch a glimpse of the champions.
The Giants captured the franchise's fourth Super Bowl championship on Sunday, with a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots.
New York now only trails Pittsburgh with six titles, and San Francisco and Dallas with five.
The Giants also became the first team to win the title after finishing the regular season 9-7. The team had an up-and-down year, but finished with wins over the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys, securing the NFC East title, before winning four consecutive postseason games.
