ROBERTS’ SENSE OF HUMOR

Kudos to Terrence Roberts and the bit of fun he had in tonight’s loss. The Syracuse senior fouled out with 6:07 left and his team tied at 57 after Jeff Adrien sank two free throws, but still showed off his sense of humor.
As is the case at UConn games and many others across the country, when a visiting player fouls out, the crowd chants left or right — depending on whichever foot was the last to move. Once he reached the bench and walked toward a team huddle, Roberts reveled in the tradition, doing a little dance as each step was acknowledged and later moving the same foot over and over to change up the sound.
The chant ends with “Sit Down” yelled after the player finally hits his chair, but Roberts stopped just short of the cushion to stand back up briefly, taking joy in faking out the student section. He was rewarded with a boisterous round of applause from a packed Gampel Pavilion.
