Boeheim Comments on Guerrier, Richmond Injuries

Quincy Guerrier did not practice and the coaching staff did not expect him to play against North Carolina. Yet he gutted out an 18 point performance in the 72-70 win, despite seeming to reaggravate the injury at different points during the game. 

"Quincy was unbelievable," head coach Jim Boeheim said after the game. "He couldn't practice yesterday. Brad Pike did a great job with him, treating ever since the game ended the other night. He treated him right after the game when we got back here from Georgia Tech. He's been treating him. I didn't think, yesterday, he'd play today. I really didn't. 

"He was tremendous. Great determination on some of those plays inside. You don't usually score inside against Carolina, but he got a little guy on him and he took advantage of it. He got down in there and finished some big plays in there to get us the lead." 

Guerrier left the game but came back in. His status for Wednesday is not officially known, but the fact that he gutted this game out and came back in late after leaving a few minutes earlier suggests he will be on the floor. 

Kadary Richmond had his own injury issue as well. He limped off the court late in the second half and did not return. 

"I have no idea," Boeheim said. "I think he'll be alright, but I don't know... He's bruised. I think he might be alright but I don't know. We'll find out." 

Syracuse will need both if they are going to knock off Clemson on Wednesday.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
