Syracuse’s Warrick named Big East player of the year
NEW YORK (AP) — Hakim Warrick, the second-leading scorer and fourth-leading rebounder in the Big East this season, was selected the conference player of the year on Tuesday.
The 6-foot-8 senior forward, a preseason All-America, was chosen in a vote of the league’s coaches.
Al Skinner, who led Boston College to a share of the regular-season title with Connecticut in the Eagles’ last season in the Big East, was chosen the coach of the year.
Warrick led the Orange, who finished third in the league, with averages of 22.1 points and 7.6 rebounds. One of the country’s best dunkers, he is shooting 55.3 percent from the field and has scored in double figures in 57 straight games.
He is the third Syracuse player to win the honor, joining Derrick Coleman in 1990 and Billy Owens in 1991.
It is the second time Skinner has been chosen coach of the year. The other was in 2000-01 when the Eagles also went 13-3 in the league. Boston College, a charter member of the Big East, leaves for the Atlantic Coast Conference next season.
Sophomore Josh Boone of Connecticut was chosen the defensive player of the year, the third straight season a Husky won the award. Emeka Okafor was the defensive player of the year the last two seasons.
Rudy Gay of Connecticut and Jeff Green of Georgetown were chosen co-rookies of the year, while Jared Dudley of Boston College and Marcus Williams of Connecticut shared Most Improved Player honors.
Senior Josh Pace of Syracuse won the Sportsmanship Award.

Syracuse ditches ‘Orangemen,’ announces nickname, logo change
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Say goodbye to the Orangemen — and the Orangewomen.
From now on, all of Syracuse University’s athletic teams will be known simply as the Orange and have a new, unified logo, an interlocking SU.
“We are the only school in the country that has orange as its primary color. We want to accentuate that fact,” director of athletics Jake Crouthamel said Tuesday at a press conference. He noted that Texas and Tennessee have a substantial amount of white to go with the orange in their uniforms.
The announcement came after two years of consultations with Nike, which supplies uniforms for men’s and women’s basketball, men’s lacrosse, and football. All 21 of Syracuse’s athletic teams will use the new mark.
“It standardizes what we do,” Crouthamel said. “We don’t have to order 14 different logos. We’ve had somewhere in the neighborhood of 19 or 20 logos that we’ve used on athletic apparel. Where’s the consistency?”
The new logo will incorporate a consistent color palette, using a brighter orange than the current version and a darker blue. The school’s colors have been orange and blue since 1890.
“We looked through media guides, and we found that the university has not had one single athletic logo since 1870, when it was founded,” said Sue Edson, director of athletic communications. “It’s pretty important to us.”
Especially for one reason.
“This is about identity,” said longtime equipment manager Kyle Fetterly, a member of the committee of coaches and school officials who made the decision. “Every time I see a navy blue hat with a yellow block ‘M’ on it, I know it’s Michigan. Every time I see a red hat with a cream-colored ‘A’ on it, I know it’s Alabama.
“Everybody I talk to around town refers to us at SU, so why isn’t it SU?” It’s about time.”
The football team will be the first to showcase the new logo and colors in the fall, and Crouthamel said the large ‘S’ over the basketball on the hoops uniforms would disappear next season.
“We will eventually get into the new look,” Crouthamel said. “It’s going to take some amount of time. We’ll work our way through it.”
Nike also has done similar work for the University of Oregon, the University of Washington, Miami, and Kentucky.

Hakim Warrick coming back to SU

It’s always been his dream to play in the NBA, but Orangemen star Hakim Warrick says he’s staying at SU for one more year.
Warrick announced his decision Thursday afternoon at Manley Field House. He says Coach Boeheim and his mother helped him make the decision to stay and that he looks forward to finsihing out his career at SU and helping his team win a Championship next season.
Warrick wants to polish his perimeter skills, which remain a work in progress. He has played primarily as a power forward and only occasionally has been able to move to the wing. He did not make a 3-point shot in either of the past two seasons, having attempted only seven.
“This is the best decision for me — just being able to have one more year, graduate, have a chance to win another national championship,” Warrick said. “There aren’t too many people that have two national championships, and that’s definitely something I wanted.”
A second-team All-America selection by Sporting News, Warrick averaged 19.8 points and 8.5 rebounds as a junior. The Orangemen finished the season 23-8 with a loss to Alabama in the NCAA tournament Sweet 16, one year after claiming the school’s first national championship. Warrick’s biggest moment as a Syracuse player remains his block of a 3-point attempt by Kansas guard Michael Lee, a rejection that preserved SU’s victory.

Man, It has been so nice outside the past few days it makes it so hard to concentrate on what’s going on inside. Tonight i’m going to Beardslee Castle in Little Falls to see REZI and I’m looking forward to that. It’s going to be sweet, here is a picture of the place from their site. 
I somehow misplaced my cell phone charger last weekend, no clue, so I broke down yesterday and bought a car charger for it. The damn thing was dead so it hadn’t worked for a few days, but now its up and running with 2 out of 3 bars of juice. Tonight I’ll be able to juice it all the way with this drive to LF. Looking forward. Will also be watching the Syracuse basketball game. Peace
