"Carmelo Anthony, who led Syracuse to its lone national title in 2003 and is the father of freshman guard Kiyan Anthony, appeared to have a strong message following the Orange's 87-77 loss to North Carolina on Monday night -- the team's fifth loss in its last six games. "SMFH," Anthony wrote under a highlight from the game on the team's official Instagram account during the loss to the Tar Heels."
"Red Autry's squad has fallen to 13-10 overall and 4-6 in the ACC. It hasn't helped that they're 363rd out of 365 Division I teams in free throw shooting. The Orange are also at the bottom of the ACC in offensive rebounding rate and turnover percentage. The school's greatest player and the parent of a top recruit voicing his displeasure isn't a welcome sign for the program."
"Anthony spent millions to build the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center, the practice facility for the men's and women's teams, and regularly attends home games. When his son committed to Syracuse in 2024, Anthony said he was confident that he would develop with the Orange. But Kiyan Anthony, who scored 10 points in 15 minutes against North Carolina on Monday night, has had an up-and-down freshman season at Syracuse,"
Carmelo Anthony posted "SMFH" under a game highlight after Syracuse's 87-77 loss to North Carolina, marking the team's fifth defeat in six games. Syracuse is 13-10 overall and 4-6 in the ACC with glaring statistical issues, including ranking 363rd of 365 in free throw shooting and bottom marks in offensive rebounding rate and turnover percentage. Anthony invested in the program through the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center and attends games regularly. His son, freshman guard Kiyan Anthony, has had an inconsistent season after committing in 2024. Coach Red Autry said the team must get better and more consistent, with several challenging games remaining.
