Jim Boeheim stood at the center of the Carrier Dome court that bears his name, smiling broadly following his 800th victory.

"I appreciate you all staying up so late. It's way past my bedtime," the 65-year-old Hall of Fame coach told the crowd after his milestone triumph late Monday night, a 75-43 victory over Albany in the 2K Sports Classic. "I'd like to thank all the fans who make this the best place in the country to play basketball."
