Syracuse Basketball: College GameDay no longer coming for Duke duel

It’s tough to even think about college basketball at a time like this, with Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim involved in a fatal car accident on late Wednesday evening. While my thoughts and prayers go out to the victim, Jorge Jimenez, and his family, as well as the Boeheim family, the SU hoops outfit does have a tilt slated for Saturday night versus No. 1 Duke on the Hill.

Given this unbelievably sad situation, officials at ESPN have decided to cancel their broadcast of the wildly popular College GameDay inside the Carrier Dome, which was scheduled to air from 11 a.
