Hoyas set for last Big East visit to Carrier DomeEXCERPT:"It was the premier rivalry during the history of the Big East,'' Boeheim said as he contemplated the end of an era. ''At one time, for a 10- or 15-year period, it was probably the No. 1 rivalry in the country. It's had a lot of emotional games, a lot of close, tough, hard battles right down to the end. It's really been a great rivalry for both schools.''The teams have played 87 times since 1930, and 20 games have been decided by two points or less, 39 by five or fewer, and 12 that have gone to overtime.
They meet for the final time as conference members in the Carrier Dome on Saturday. That's the reason students have been camped out all week to be part of an NCAA on-campus record crowd of 35,012 that will transform the stands surrounding Jim Boeheim Court into a raging sea of orange.
The special feeling for the home fans can be traced to a snowy February night in 1980, when former Georgetown coach John Thompson Jr. became the man Syracuse fans came to despise...
''We wanted to get that game for the fans,'' Bouie said. ''The fans were going crazy.''
So, too, was Thompson's teenage son, John III, now head coach of the Hoyas. He shouted with glee back home listening to Hoyas radio play-by-play man Rich Chvotkin call the action. Moments after the final horn, a rivalry was in full swing when 6-foot-10 of John Thompson Jr. declared: ''Manley Field House is officially closed.''
