Re: Welcome to the "Loud House" | Syracuse Basketball (CH2k8)
The Loud House  Toward the end of the 1970s, Syracuse University was under pressure to improve its football facilities in order to remain a Division I-A football school. Its small concrete stadium, Archbold Stadium, was 70 years old and not up to the standards of other schools. The stadium could not be expanded; earlier in the decade it had been reduced from 40,000 seats to 26,000 due to fire codes. Therefore Syracuse University decided to build a new stadium on the site of Archbold, which, appropriately for Syracuse's often cold weather was to have a domed Teflon-coated, fiberglass inflatable roof. When it opened in September 1980, it was made clear just how loud it was inside; that night the dome's famous nickname, "the Loud House", was coined. The inflatable roof causes the sound produced to echo many times, exponentially increasing the loudness produced inside. It would also serve as the home for the men's basketball team, as a replacement for Manley Field House. The Carrier Dome has a capacity of 50,000 for football, and the nation's largest for basketball, 34,646 (record set against Villanova in 2010 season.)

Re: Welcome to the "Loud House" | Syracuse Basketball (CH2k8)
  Jim Boeheim’s program is a perennial Big East and NCAA Championship contender, and one can guarantee that the squad would like to atone for this season’s letdown. Let’s take a look at the Orange’s prospects for the 2011-12 campaign. Key Losses The Orange will lose the leadership of senior Rick Jackson (13.1 ppg, 10.3 rpg) this season. Jackson’s long arms and defensive presence were key components of Syracuse’s 2/3 zone over the past four seasons. His intangibles will be missed as much or more than his statistics. Luckily he is the only senior on last year's team which means the Orange will likely be contenders in the coming season. Returning Backcourt Syracuse’s backcourt will remain intact next season with Scoop Jardine (12.5 ppg, 5.9 apg) and Brandon Triche (11.1 ppg, 2.9 apg) forming a potent combination. Jardine is the type of player who can win or lose a game for his team based on his shooting touch on a given night. He had some brilliant offensive games, but also some stinkers (see the NCAA Tournament loss to Marquette for an example). If he becomes more consistent as a senior, he could become one of the top point guards in the country. Triche was able to pick up the slack during many of Jardine’s poor-shooting games. He is a solid shooter with good range, but also suffers from inconsistency. If both guards are off, the ‘Cuse has very little shot at success. Dion Waiters looks like a new man. He has shed some weight and is looking faster, stronger and more confident than ever. Now, hopefully that confidence isn't an issue like it was this past season. Returning Frontcourt The offense will run through forward Kris Joseph (14.3 ppg, 5.2 rpg) in 2011. Joseph chose to return to Syracuse for his senior year rather than test the waters of the NBA Draft. His shooting range presents a problem for opposing defenders, as he raised his percentage to 37% behind the arc. The rest of the frontcourt is a work-in-progress. Freshman C.J. Fair (6.4 ppg, 3.8 rpg) probably exhibits the most talent and potential, with Mookie Jones, Fab Melo, and Baye Moussa Keita rounding out the rotation. These big men will need to develop for Syracuse to reach its potential. On the Recruiting Trail  Five-star McDonald’s All-American Rakeem Christmas (Academy of the New Church, PA) could fill an immediate need for the Orange at center. He is 6’9”, but plays larger than that due to an 88.5” wingspan. Christmas is described as a tenacious rebounder and defender with a developing offensive game. He could fit in the middle of the 2/3 very effectively.Boeheim also picked up five-star McDonald’s All-American Michael Carter-Williams (St. Andrew’s School, MA). Carter-Williams is described as an incredible shooter who will need to bulk up a bit to survive the physical Big East. He could contribute off the bench immediately next season when Syracuse’s starting guards are struggling with their shots. Syracuse’s third commitment is from ESPNU 100 shooting guard Trevor Cooney (Sanford High School, DE). Cooney’s shooting ability is unquestioned, but he does not have a great deal of natural athleticism. He will be redshirting this season but come next year he has a bright future in the Orange lineup. Outlook Syracuse should have a strong team next season under the leadership of Joseph and Jardine. I really like the backcourt of Jardine and Triche, particularly with help coming from Dion Waiters. The frontcourt is a question mark, but Boeheim has demonstrated the ability in the past to develop big men. I think Fair and Melo, particularly, will develop into Big East players next season and that Christmas will have an immediate impact. Predictions Final Record: 28-6 Post-Season: NCAA Tourney (Elite 8) MVP: Kris Joseph Sixth Man: C.J. Fair Impact Freshman: Rakeem Christmas
