Oh, that block.
I’ll never forget it. The Syracuse basketball program withstood a furious second-half rally by Kansas in the 2003 national championship game, and Hakim Warrick’s clutch defensive output toward the contest’s conclusion sealed the Orange’s first title conquest.
Warrick had a tremendous collegiate career in Central New York; there’s no denying that.
Besides his pivotal help in guiding SU to claim the 2003 Big Dance, Warrick collected numerous individual honors, such as getting named an All-American as well as the Big East Player of the Year.
