Mello's out!  I say we sink like a stone in the second round...   Is it really that hard to keep this guy eligible?

Agreed we are done. I have Vanderbilt going to finale 4 and could see Kentucky ,Vanderbilt finals. What was it, academics ?

sounds like academics, but I haven't heard a definitive word yet....well at least they got the #1 seed in the East prior to this coming out...timing is everything, eh???

I can’t imagine its grades again because they are always a semester behind in that.  I’m guessing failed drug test and with all that came out they have to follow their own policy on something that isn’t mandated by the NCAA.  Who knows??

It's hard to pass basket weaving when you're all doped-up

Kinda hard to pass classes when your passing something else...around!! I hope SU pulls together tighter and pulls it off. With out Melo at the basket....I gotta say they're doomed!!

Simply amazing after the Defensive player of the big east award he got, and the season they are having, that he would be so selfish to not carry good grades and character to help his team win a possible title!! Unbelievable!!  SELFISH!!  My .02....I'm done!!--KP

GO SYRACUSE!!

They dont have a chance now....

[adam2000]

We don't have to worry about Wisconsin now. No way can we beat ksu with no center

[Flukeman]

I think they are still going to get to the Elite 8, at that point anything can happen. We were 2-1 without Melo, it's not the end of the world. Some other guys need to step up like they did in the first Cincy game without Melo when they won. Besides, no one knows what is going to happen with other teams going forward with injuries, bad calls, and let downs. All they need to do is get through this weekend and then they will have some time to make adjustments.

But all you fair weather sally's, give up
