This hits close to home for me. Lawrence Moten, one of the greatest players in Syracuse men's basketball history who remains the program's all-time leading scorer, has passed away at the way-too-young age of 53.
Mike Waters of Syracuse.com first reported on Moten's passing. This is unimaginably devastating and heartbreaking. Not only was Moten one of my favorite 'Cuse players ever, but he's also from Washington, D.C., and I'm from the Baltimore to Washington corridor.
My thoughts are with his family, and Orange Nation sends love to the 'Cuse coaching staff and everyone associated with the program.
