Howard Smith-US PRESSWIRE
While on the court side of things it can be said: what a way to come back for Melo, as the Orange will play their next game at Madison Square Garden against the Red Storm, with tip off time being at noon on Saturday (televised by ESPN). It seems that coach Boeheim’s team is always ready when playing in that arean and it will be interesting if the returning center can showcase his blocking abilities (3 per game) while playing in the mecca of basketball. Without a doubt with the return of the big man SU is a much better team and is once again ready to be among the elite squads that will fight for the national championship this spring.

Having lived in the Empire State, first down state and now living in upstate, most of his life AEM has always enjoyed sports, while never having any favorite team, with the exception of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is old enough to remember the Islanders being great when Mike Bossy was the leading man of the dynasty, to have watched the Mets win it all, to have seen the New York Giants win the Super Bowl (the one before Eli Manning did it), to remember when St. John's was good under Lou Carnesecca, and many more story lines that have happened in the state of New York. And of course, he is old enough to remember the "miracle on ice" that the US Hockey team did in this very state, in Lake Placid, a place he has visited many times, just like the Hall of Fame of Baseball in Cooperstown.
