SYRACUSE, N.Y. ― Syracuse is working to finalize an agreement to make Gerry McNamara the next head coach of the Orange basketball program, ESPN reported Sunday. Syracuse athletic director Bryan Blair spoke to McNamara multiple times

Syracuse, N.Y. — The Syracuse basketball team takes on the Louisville Cardinals at 9 p.m., Tuesday at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. The game will air on ACC Network. Syracuse loses its fourth-straight game to fall to 15-15 (6-11 ACC).

Doty, from the Syracuse suburb of Fulton, is a logical candidate to follow head coach Gerry McNamara to Syracuse. The Orange named McNamara, a Syracuse icon, as coach on Tuesday.

Syracuse turned to its past by hiring former star guard Gerry McNamara on Tuesday in a bid to guide a fading men’s basketball program back to prominence. The 42-year-old McNamara, nicknamed “G-Mac,” is returning to where he and Carmelo Anthony led the Orange to a national championship in 2003.
