Post by Steve Infanti - Several people have asked me my opinion the last few days about the post game scene at the Dome on Saturday.  Essentially the question is: Should the students have stormed the court after beating nationally-ranked Georgetown?  I’ve heard the arguments on both sides and my position is that it doesn’t really bother me.

I know some will say they prefer to take the “act like we’ve been there before” approach after a big win.  Heck, this program isn’t even five full years removed from winning a national championship.  However, I see no problem in showing a little extra enthusiasm after knocking off the hated Hoyas – as long as it’s done safely.  As long as precautions are taken to make it a “controlled celebration” (to ensure that no one gets hurt) then I’m fine with it.  The students like it, the players like it, and the television cameras like it.

It’s true that this wasn’t a landmark win for the program, but it was still a very big win in front of a very big crowd.  I’ve been going to Syracuse University basketball games my entire life and I can tell you that the atmosphere in the Dome on Saturday was one of the most electric that I can remember.  It was the kind of win that has the Orange back in the NCAA Tournament conversation -- the kind of win worth celebrating if you’re an SU hoops fan.

So what do you think about the “court storming”?  Was it justified?

Either way, there are just two more chances to watch this team play at home this season. Hopefully just two, and not a game or two more.
