When the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team lines up and runs out from the Carrier Dome locker room tonight it will will mark the final time the team does so at home this season. Leading the front of that line will be senior point guard Frank Howard, who will compete in the dome for the final time in his Syracuse career.
Howard, who has rather remarkably overcome some very difficult circumstances in life just to be at Syracuse, has had his fair share of ups and downs during his four years. He played in a reserve role as a freshman while being part of a team that saw its head coach suspended for nine games, only to advance to the Final Four in 2016.
