GREENVILLE, S.C. — There are two versions of Gerry McNamara that will show up this week at Bon Secours Wellness Arena for the men’s NCAA tournament’s opening round.
There’s the Syracuse legend side of McNamara, the sharpshooting guard who teamed up with fellow freshman Carmelo Anthony to lead the Orange to their first national title in 2003. There’s the former Cuse assistant, who faced off against top-seeded Duke several times from the bench alongside program patriarch Jim Boeheim and vouched repeatedly for his former player, Maliq Brown, when he transferred between the ACC programs two years ago.
