Corey Brewer of the Timberwolves ranks third in the NBA after hitting a three-pointer for the 23rd consecutive game Wednesday. Aaron Brooks of Houston (29) and Denver’s Chauncey Billups (25) have longer current streaks. Jason Kidd of Dallas also is at 23 games.
Flynn, starting as a rookie for the NBA’s Timberwolves, said recently that his decision to leave sparked the Orange. He said the returning players knew they were being written off and it made them work even harder during the offseason.

People are saying they’re better off without last year’s stars. Boeheim says it was fairly easy to replace Harris and Devendorf. But come on. They’d be even better if Flynn had stayed in school.

“We’d be hard to beat,” Boeheim said. “We’re hard to beat now.”
