Jim Boeheim maintained his usual stoic facade Friday night while his unbeaten Syracuse basketball team notched another victory. Behind the postgame microphone, it was a different story. The coach returned to the subject of his fired former assistant coach, Bernie Fine, and apologized for his initial remarks involving the men who accused Fine of molestating them as minors. Two of the three men were former Syracuse ball boys. Fine has maintained his innocence. "I believe I misspoke very badly in my response to the allegations that have been made. I shouldn't have questioned what the accusers expressed or their motives. I am really sorry that I did that, and I regret any harm that I caused," he said at the news conference after Syracuse (No. 3 ESPN/USA Today, No. 4 AP) beat Florida (No. 9 ESPN/USA Today, No. 10 AP) 72-68.
