It wasn’t without a few nervous moments, but Syracuse takes care of Georgetown in what could be the final Big East showdown between the two rivals at the Dome. So, yeah. That’s how it should be.

It’s hard to quantify just how far Fab Melo has come in his sophomore season at Syracuse. He’s gone from a liability on both ends of the floor to somebody the Orange heavily rely upon, especially on the defensive end. It was obvious during his midseason absence from the team how vital Fab is. SU suffered its only loss of the season at Notre Dame, and struggles mightily with Cincinnati...
