#1 Syracuse Survives!


The Syracuse Orangemen will advance to the final four of the NCAA basketball tournament. C'use did everything right and the #4 Wisconsin Badgers did nothing wrong in sinking 14 3-pointers to give themselves a last shot chance at an upset.

That last shot will surely haunt the Badgers as they'd lived by the three all game. Trailing 64-63 with 15.5 seconds left, the Badgers could've used a driving play to the basket to loosen up the swarming Syracuse defense. They didn't have the ability to manufacture an inside shot and there is where their tournament dreams died.

Best game of the tournament that I've seen so far. Syracuse coach Jim Boehm credited the Badgers team by saying they were much better than he'd anticipated and calling them a "Great" team.

Syracuse will face the winner of tonight's sweet-sixteen game between #6 Cincinnati and #2 Ohio State.
