Syracuse Basketball

March Madness heads to Houston Texas Saturday night with the Final Four teams competing for the national championship, in that group is the Syracuse Orange.

The Orangeman of Syracuse survived the weekend with an incredible second half rally and defeated the #1 seed Virginia Cavaliers 68-62 to advance to the final four.

The Syracuse Orange are another team busting brackets all over the nation, winning yesterday over Middle Tennessee 75-50.They'll head to Chicago as part of the Sweet Sixteen.

I watched the 2 hour selection Sunday on television, and as they got to the final brackets I did a double take as they announced Syracuse was in the NCAA Tournament as the number 10 seed.

The regular season is over for the Orange and its tournament time will Syracuse get an NCAA invite? Losing the final two games of the season didn't help their chances.

The announcement was made on Wednesday, that Syracuse University Coach, Jim Boeheim will retire after the 2017-18 season. I can't imagine watching an SU basketball game, without his familiar face on the sidelines.

If you haven't heard the shocking news, in response to on going NCAA investigation, Syracuse University has removed the Mens basketball team of all tournament play this post season. No NIT, ACC or NCAA tournaments for the men in orange this season.
