SYRACUSE, NY – The jersey of former basketball standout John Wallace (#44) will join the most significant numbers in Syracuse hoop history when it is officially retired in a ceremony scheduled for Saturday, February 29, 2020, in the Dome. The Orange host ACC rival North Carolina that day.

John Wallace is one of the great all around players in Syracuse history," said Syracuse Director of Athletics John Wildhack. "He is our third all-time scorer and rebounder and ranks ninth all-time in blocked shots. All Syracuse fans will remember John hitting the 3-pointer to beat Georgia in the Sweet 16 and leading the Orange to the Championship game in 1996.
