What a week to be Orange
WE HAVE TWO TEAMS IN THE FINAL FOUR… and other ‘Cuse things from the past week
The week began with the campus filling quickly with students struggling with post spring break depression but having both ‘Cuse basketball teams defy the odds and make it to the Final Four made the Hill the wannabe place by Sunday night. Here’s what went down this week:
