Item: Tuesday night’s tough 81-75 loss to North Carolina at Chapel Hill kept SU winless at that venue during the eight seasons the Orange have been ACC members. It remains the only locale Syracuse has yet to win a conference game.
Oh yes, Syracuse has won a game at the Dean E. Smith Center.
The victory came against North Carolina…. A&T, in the first round of the 1988 NCAA Tournament. (Orange Nation would just as soon forget the second round upset defeat at the hands of Rhode Island in the building two days later, playing with an ailing Sherman Douglas.)
