McNamara Does it Again!

12
Vote

With two clutch shots in two straight days, Gerry McNamara turned Syracuse from a bubble team, to an almost sure lock to the NCAA tournament.

McNamara hit a tying 3-pointer from NBA range with 5.5 seconds left in regulation and the Orange survived a frantic finish in overtime to upset top-ranked Connecticut, 86-84, in the Big East Conference tournament quarterfinals.

Yeserday, McNamara nailed a 3-pointer with a half-second left to lift Syracuse to a 74-73 triumph over Cincinnati.

This Syracuse team does not have the talent of teams of the recent past, but McNamara is leading this scrappy team straight to the NCAA tournament. The game today vs Connecticut was one of the best Big East games in recent history

Guess he caught a second wind for the tourney. At times he looked whipped late in the season due to too many minutes and too little help

Syracuse teams always rely on one superstar and a bunch of solid role players. John Wallace had the meathook Otis Hill who did the dirty work. Carmelo Anthony had McNamara and Hakim Warrick. This year (although McNamara wouldnt be considered a superstar like Wallace and Anthony) its all McNamara, unless someone like Demetrus Nichols steps up. If Nichols can support McNamara, with a little luck they may make a run at the sweet 16.
