Former Syracuse point guard Dennis “Sweet D” DuVal will be honored at halftime of Syracuse’s game with Notre Dame on Saturday, with his uniform being retired. DuVal’s No. 22 uniform will be the 15th retired by the Orange, joining the likes of Pearl Washington, Sherman Douglas and Carmelo Anthony, among others.

DuVal, a member of the SU all-century team, played for Syracuse from 1971-74, starting in all 81 games he played at SU. At the end of his career with the Orange, DuVal had scored 1504 points, putting him 2nd on Syracuse’s all-time scoring list when he graduated, trailing only Dave Bing. Currently, DuVal ranks 21st.

After being named a third-team All-American his senior year at SU, DuVal was drafted in the second round by the NBA’s Washington Bullets. Following two NBA seasons, he joined the Syracuse Police Department as an officer. He became a deputy police chief in 1990 before eventually rising to chief in 2001. DuVal retired in 2004 after 26 years with the SPD.

Syracuse and Notre Dame tipoff at 3:15 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 6 in the Carrier Dome.
