Kansas didn't make it in 2010 (N Iowa in round of 32), 2014 (Stanford, round of 32), 2015 (WSU, round of 32)... I guess they have 7 as well

Duke and UK have 7... a few others with 6 (Wisconsin, Arizona, a few others I can't recall).

If the refs get the charge / block call right at the end of SBU it doesn't matter

Syracuse's NCAA Tournament Resume vs Other Bubble Teams Not saying we will get in, I think it's 50 / 50. But if you look at our actual resume versus the rest of the bubble we compare pretty well.

Resumes are nearly identical. We have worse losses (@Wake, @GT). We seem to have slightly better wins. We have a better SOS. They have a lightly better RPI (39 vs 44). We won head to head.

Watching this UVa / UL Game... UVa is really, really good. Can easily see them winning a National Title this year. Being down by 10 to them is like being down by 20+ to any other team. Makes the E8 comeback even more amazing. Right now UL is playing right into their hands though...

My opinion... Louisville: @FSU VT @ND @VT You could maybe include Indiana and Memphis at home... Notre Dame: Wichita State NCSU @SU FSU You could maybe include @BC, BC, LSU I honestly like our wins better (trying not to be biased). Stinks we let NCSU, @FSU, ND, etc get away. Those were...

I have loved following the team this year. Unfortunately I don't think that we have quite enough to beat BYU and Northern Arizona. My pick is 3rd. I think we edge out a great Stanford team and are on the podium for the 3rd straight year. Also I think Justyn Knight finally gets his long overdue...

Awesome article on the rise of Syracuse Cross Country: The Rise of Syracuse: How a Cross Country Powerhouse Was Built From Scratch in 10 Years - LetsRun.com As my username suggests I am a distance runner so I follow this sport closely. Thought some of you might also be interested.

Thanks all for contributing. I intended for people to post their favorite Syracuse memories from each round as it happens but I appreciate the memories none the less. Since I will likely not be around this weekend (and thus unable to contribute during the 2nd round) as it happens, here are my 2...

Like everyone who frequents this board, I am a huge Syracuse fan (duh). Like many, I don't think I will be able to enjoy the tournament all that much without the Orange present. However, I have been a fan of the program for almost all of my life (born in 1987) and have many positive (and a few...

I watched him play at the WPIAL Playoffs last night at North Allegheny HS (Mars vs Hampton). Carmody's team (Mars) was upset in a very tight game (61-59). Some thoughts (from a non-expert): -He has a very quick release on his jumper -He reminded me a lot of Trevor Cooney (quick release, similar...

Went to the Pitt game Saturday. I don't know what it looked like on TV but there was a lot of Orange in the stands (especially in the second level). I did not expect to see that many Syracuse fans there. I told my 4 year old son (who is 4 and was attending his first game) before the game that...

I am taking this loss hard and it has been on my mind a lot since I heard the news Saturday night. I have been a Syracuse fan my whole life (growing up in Western NY) but I didn't truly start following all aspects of the program (including recruiting) until 2009 / 2010. Fab Melo was one if the...

Virginia is only like Pitt in the regard that they like to play a slow methodical style. Virginia plays great defense but they never played "dirty" in my observation. Pitt's mentality over the past 15 years (under Dixon) has been to dictate the physicality (i.e. make things so physical that the...

I tend to agree with the original poster... and let's be honest... falling behind each game by 8-16 points on not a recipe for success Wake - overcame 8 point second half deficit FSU - led the whole way NCSU - overcame a 16 point second half deficit UVA - overcame a 12 point halftime deficit...

Terrence Roberts vs Rutgers in 2006

I will be there attempting to make it sound like a Syracuse home game!

I'll be attending w/my 4 year old son (his first game). I have lived in the Pittsburgh area for a few years now but have never attended a game at the Pete (did see them in the NCAA tournament a few years ago in 2012)... Hoping to see a lot of Orange in the stands!

I remember back in the 08-09 season (Nova FF season, Cuse Sweet Sixteen season) Nova came to the dome for a Sunday afternoon game that was very important for both teams. Devendorf (I think) went down with an ankle injury, but Nova had the ball and had a 5 on 4 advantage since Eric was down on...

I will separate my response into tournament games and non-tournament games. I was born in 87 and have been a fan since 1995 or so. Tournament Games: 1. Butler (I am still not over this game) 2. Vermont 3. Ohio State (refs screwed what should have been a great match-up) 4. Michigan (we shot very...

After reading the threads I understand why people are upset. We played poorly, could have lost, and demonstrated a lot of room for improvement in key areas. Here are a few things that should be considered: 1. People say Georgia Tech is bad, but how many teams in the ACC are better? Excluding...

http://www.letsrun.com/news/2014/11/ncaa-xc-mens-preview-mark-wetmore-colorado-go-programs-first-repeat/ Really great preview up on letsrun.com for those interested.

there is definetly a chance! As mentioned in other threads, Mickey Burke (4th a footlocker nationals as a high schooler) is redshirting this year. Nick Ryan also is a big time talent and could step in easily (along with a bunch of talented runners). I expect next year's team to be a little...

Should be a very interesting national championship race. From a Syracuse perspective, the biggest difference between this championship and the past few years is that this race has been the focus of the entire season... all training has been geared to having the guys ready to go on 11/22. In...

A lot of times it takes freshmen some time to transition into college XC. Most "elite" high school runners run between 60-70 miles per week, but college is a different ball game. Most competitive runners will run at least 90-100 mpw which represents a pretty big jump. In the past NCAA Champions...

Outside of Colorado and Oregon I would take them against anyone. No one is beating Colorado this year unfortunatly. There is a small chance we could upset Oregon if some of their key guys have an off day. Iona, Oklahoma State, Stanford, and NAU coule also be right there, but I think we are...

And Coach Fox has been beastly on the recruiting trail. The have had a virtual monopoly on the best distance running talent in NY state (which is among the best states in the country for HS XC talent).

Probably not many people here follow distance running (I follow it closely, see my screen name) but Syracuse Cross Country (ranked 6th in the nation) dropped the hammer on a loaded field at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational today (blowing out fellow contending teams Wisconsin, Stanford, NAU...

I thought Pitt would make a deep run in the NCAA tournament during the ___ season. I thought we shouldn't have given Andy Rautins a scholarship. I thought when we missed out on Tobias HArris our team would stink the next year. I didn't think Kevin Ollie would be all that good of a coach...

I live in Pittsburgh, so if you find me I will say "yes"

I want option 2. Basketball is a game of probability, espeicailly in a 1 and done tournament. Option 2 has a program that is built for present and long term success. Option 1 struck gold once but is likley irrevalent most years and is much less likely to win titles in the future than option 2...

I noticed that too. I was considering selling the evening session but I figured it wasn't worth it since I wouldn't get much for them. I decided to go instead and cheer on St. Joe's!

Most of the ACC - yes Specifically, UNC - yes (although I am happy for PC and wouldn't be upset if they won a few either) NC State - yes UVA - yes Duke - questionable (although I have like Coach K a lot more this year) Pitt - No I obviously only really care about one team though.

If we are going to lose... let's at least lose a game when we wear our all-Orange road jerseys, not the home whites. This is always a goal of mine because it means we played to our seed.

i think this every year and then they choke...

Do you have the watch ESPN phone app? It isn't ideal, but when i have had other conflicts that force me to miss parts of games this has been a life saver. You can go to the concert and watch the end of the game using this app...

Georgetown has fans? You really do learn something new everyday

Pittsburgh, PA (grew up in Rochester, NY)

Ohio State (in the round of 32). Will welcome the chance to play them later on though

I like nova the best out of the new big east teams. Looking forward to them dominating that conference for years to come

I went to a small Division 3 college in PA and was a senior in college at the time of this game. Me and a fellow fraternity brother were both from Western NY and were really big SU fans and watched all of the games together. We settled in to watch the game in the "hangout" room, just the two of...

I still think the best moment is yet to come for both players as well by the way. Forgot to mention that.

Both of yours are great selections and will be hard to top. I'll throw out a couple of different ones. Kieta - freshman year plays awesome in a game @UConn and helps us snap a several game skid after we started 18-0. He had one crazy bucket where he appeared to lose control of the ball but it...

I wouldn't be thrilled to see UConn in the second round. They know our zone, and have several players who shoot the 3 well (although they are streaky). Also, with Grant limited our advantage against them in the front court would be marginalized a little.

Our team this year reminds me of several other different teams I have seen in the last decade + (some good and some bad). Option 1, Villanova 2009: Like Nova in 2009, we came flying out of the gates. However, we both stumble near the end of the year and get blown out in a game that decides the...

Why we lost 1. We could not shoot. BC is terrible on defense and we got any look we wanted. We made what felt like less than 5 jump shots yesterday. We missed a bunch of bunnies as well. If the shooting returns to what is was a month ago we will be fine. 2. BC shot great. Our defense wasn't...

Let's take one last moment to laugh at Ron Cook http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/2014/01/22/Panthers-are-ACC-favorites-seriously/stories/201401220098 Syracuse is 18-0 and has been ranked No. 2 in America since Dec. 9, but it is not the favorite to win the ACC championship. Pitt is. I'm...

I feel like after last night I can finally forget the Paul Harris Pitt game. I will never speak or think of that game again after this post. I will remember the Tyler Ennis game instead. RIP Paul Harris game

Here is my calculation Pitt - 50% NC State - 90% BC - 99% Duke - 30% UMD - 65% UVa - 50% GT - 95% FSU - 65% That equals a 2.7% chance...
