Syracuse basketball, Boeheim's Army (Photo by Craig Jones/Getty Images)
Boeheim’s Army, that fabulous Syracuse basketball alumni team, is in its first championship game of The Basketball Tournament (“TBT”), and I’m feeling all kinds of nostalgia about the Orange’s 2002-03 season.
I’m not trying to compare the ‘Cuse program with Boeheim’s Army, because Boeheim’s Army has multiple non-Syracuse basketball players.
And the TBT, while an awesome annual summer event providing the championship squad with $1 million, isn’t at all the same as the NCAA Tournament.
However, the grit, heart and toughness displayed by Boeheim’s Army in the 2021 TBT are so admirable.
