For afternoon or night games during The Basketball Tournament, Syracuse University senior Maria Angiolillo’s friends would arrive at breakfast. Whether it was her apartment on South Campus sophomore year, or her houses on Lancaster Avenue and Euclid Avenue the next two years, Angiolillo’s was always the place she and her Otto’s Army friends would cheer on Boeheim’s Army. She’d start making pancakes, eggs, bacon and toast as the group trickled in.
In 2019, the group would then get ready for their trek to SRC Arena at Onondaga Community College to see Boeheim’s Army battle through their first two games, before they fell to Team Brotherly Love in the third round. Before she left, Angiolillo always grabbed her “perfect-condition” Sherman Douglas jersey that she grabbed for free at a yard sale.
