Syracuse Basketball: That time Kevin Durant almost joined the Orange

Throughout March and April, the CBS Sports Network aired some of the best NCAA Basketball Championships of years past.

It’s been the strategy during this unforeseen year that 2020 has provided. So when Syracuse basketball found out that their 2003 title win over Roy Williams and Kansas would be re-aired on April 5, they did what Syracuse does.

The Orange faithful held a Facebook Live watch party where fans could tune in to see players and coaches from past and present. Many guests tuned in, included famed Syracuse alumni Mike Tirico and Pete Thamel, to share some of their stories with Coach Jim Boeheim, Carmelo Anthony, and Gerry McNamara among others in a Zoom video call.
