Message: [QUOTE="mayselc, post: 2543740, member: 655"] From SI article today discussing the championship potential of the Sweet 16. Guess who is last? [SIZE=4][B]16. SYRACUSE (NO. 11 SEED, MIDWEST)[/B][/SIZE] The Orange were fortunate to hear their name called on Selection Sunday, but head coach Jim Boeheim should be commended for lifting a young, thin squad with a punchless offense to three tournament wins, the most recent of which came over popular preseason national championship pick Michigan State. Syracuse would have had more upward mobility in a different quadrant of the bracket, but it had the misfortune of being placed in the same region as ACC competitor and No. 2 seed Duke. The Blue Devils shouldn’t have any issues picking apart the Orange’s zone, and good shots will be hard to come by for Syracuse against Duke’s own zone. [/QUOTE]
