Syracuse star

By the time Carmelo Anthony joined the Syracuse Orange, he became a star. He averaged 22.2 points and 10 rebounds and Sporting News named him a first team All-American as a freshman. But he saved his best for the NCAA tournament. In 2003, he led Syracuse to a title over Kansas. Anthony played the college game better than any freshman in NCAA basketball ever. He was the third to be named Most Outstanding Player at the Final Four but the first to function as the dominant member of a championship team since freshman regained eligibility in 1972. Anthony ended his first college season by making Syracuse the nation’s best team that year.
