Rest easy

That’s right, world.

Rest easy. The Syracuse Orange are back on top of college basketball. Back at No. 1.

For the first time since the halcyon days of Billy Owens and consecutive tournament flameouts against Minnesota and Richmond, of all things.

Yes, I know it’s fleeting. But this Orange fan can enjoy it. No doubt they won’t finish the year at No. 1 – my bet is on Kansas, after it wins the Big 12 tourney – but a high seed seems imminent, and the team has so far played well.

So we’re not totally lackadaisical or dismissive. We’re just enjoying.

And so, we can rest. It’s the sports calm before March’s four-week storm. So there. More later.
