Syracuse, N.Y. - Coach is weighing in on mask mandates at Syracuse Univerisity.

"I'd like to see it, I hope so, I think it's about time," says Men's Basketball Head Coach Jim Boeheim about fans being allowed to skip the mask when they come to the Carrier Dome to cheer on 'Cuse when they host the nationally-ranked Duke Blue Devils on Saturday.

"Hopefully we can be like the rest of the country and come in here without masks on Saturday, we just can't do that," said Boeheim with his iconic sarcastic grin. "All the students here wear masks to class and then go downtown to party and they have no masks. 400 people in a party. It's crazy."
