Syracuse Orange fans went through a roller coaster of emotions when the SU Orange men’s basketball team faced Colgate on Tuesday. The Orange trailed by 24 early in the second half but stormed back for a 79-75 win, allowing their fans to breathe a sigh of relief.
But what about something Syracuse fans love (ed. note: Some fans love), no matter the outcome? I’m talking about the stand-and-clap tradition before each half at every home game. It’s a custom that dates back to the late 70s.
Throughout the season, we’ll analyze how long it takes Syracuse to score while its fans stand and clap, who makes the basket and how they do it.
