BOEHEIM... A TABLE TENNIS MASTER?

Another great idea by Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim to raise money for the Coaches vs. Cancer program. An NBA exhibition game is being held at the Carrier Dome and during the game fans can take on members of the Syracuse Men's and Women's Basketball teams in table tennis.

For those of you who have never been to the Carrier Dome, the court is on one half of the stadium with a large food court and giant TV screen on the other half.

But the big event will come at halftime right at center court...

At halftime, Coach Boeheim has agreed to take on a member of the crowd in a
one-on-one table-tennis exhibition. For every point Coach Boeheim scores, $75
will be donated to Coaches vs. Cancer. For every point his opponent gets, $150
will be donated to Coaches vs. Cancer.

Boeheim must be pretty good if he is willing to take on someone in front of 15,000 fans. That's like trying to make a putt in the Ryder Cup.
