“I think it’s obviously helpful for me to have seen them up close,” Witherspoon said of the Orange. “Of course, they’re playing against Western Michigan, who I coached against for all those years. Their coach, Steve Hawkins, is a really good friend. I’ve spent a lot of time with him on the telephone. … I think Western Michigan has a chance. If they hold onto the ball, not turn it over and control the pace of the game, it has a chance to be a good basketball game.”
Reggie Witherspoon former UB head coach & color commentator for two SU games this season
Jay Wright
"My wife, Daryl [Gross], the A.D. at Syracuse, and Jim Boeheim spent an hour in the lobby last night talking about the ESPN special 30 for 30 and the old days. And it’s really cool to see Connecticut people.”

"5. ORANGE YOU GLAD
Syracuse fans will flock to Buffalo to watch their beloved Orange try to reignite an offense that has scored more than 70 only once in the last 11 games. ’Cuse is taking on a dangerous MAC championship team in Western Michigan, which should challenge the 2-3 zone. It should be close, but we like the Orange."
NYDN

"3. The bracket: Certainly, there are teams who can beat Florida in the Gators' side of the bracket, but it's not like it's overwhelming. Syracuse is sliding, Kansas has the whole Joel Embiid injury issue and UCLA doesn't play defense.
5. Perimeter shooting: Other than guard Michael Frazier II, the Gators lack a consistent second perimeter threat. That could come into play if the Gators face a team that plays 2-3 zone, like a possible matchup with Syracuse in the Elite Eight."

"Not because of the selections themselves (though, Mr. President, we will need to have a talk about this nonsense of Syracuse losing in the round-of-32), but because people who dislike him anyway use it as a means for voicing their displeasure."
Villani: Be a good sport about Obama's NCAA bracket
"Upset Special: Don’t sleep on Western Michigan against the Syracuse Orange. The Broncos have won 12 of their last 13 games while the Orange appear to have peaked in January."

No. 3 Syracuse vs. No. 14 Western Michigan (2:40 p.m., CBS): Syracuse isn't playing well lately, losing five of its last seven -- but Western Michigan should be a decent matchup for the Orange. Western Michigan likes to draw contact and get to the free-throw line, which it will find hard to do against the Syracuse zone.

“I love flipping on my TV and seeing other Canadian guys doing so well,” Pierre said, without a hint of jealousy in his voice. “Obviously, with Andrew, you knew he was going to be a big star. But I’m happy to see what Tyler is doing (at Syracuse).”
"While much has been made of a potential Ennis-Wiggins battle in the Sweet 16 in Memphis if Syracuse and Kansas can get through the opening weekend, Pierre has a shot to play the role of spoiler. If Dayton can pull off the upset of Ohio State and No. 3 Syracuse tops No. 14 Western Michigan in the second game of the day in Buffalo, the Orange and the Flyers would square off in the round of 32."
Canadian player Dyshawn Pierre of Dayton
ND: Last question; the NCAA Tournament started this week, so who's your team?
Mitchell: Syracuse. I like their point guard (Tyler Ennis,) that's my squad.

"Everyone knows Syracuse has the opposite of momentum going for it. After starting 25-0, the Orange has dropped 5-of-7. “Mo” is no longer hanging out in Upstate New York."

"In the Sweet 16, Arthur likes Arizona over Oklahoma, Wisconsin over Creighton, Louisville over Wichita State, Duke over Michigan, Villanova over Iowa State, Michigan State over Virginia, Florida over VCU and Kansas over Syracuse.
"When you go against that (Syracuse) zone, you just have to attack that middle," he said. "Once you attack that middle, everything else opens up."
Denver Nuggets forward Darrell Arthur

"The Net starter with the most experience without reaching a title game is Pierce, who played nine games with Kansas, which lost to Syracuse in the Elite 8 in 1996, Arizona in the Sweet 16 in 1997 and Rhode Island in the second round in 1998."

No. 7 New Mexico The Lobos' triple threat of Cameron Bairstow, Kendall Williams and Alex Kirk is about as good as any trio in the field. Potential matchups against No. 2 Kansas, No. 3 Syracuse and UCLA are winnable. If they need to take down Florida and succeed, watch out.

"I work with a guy who graduated from Western Michigan, and he tells me that there is absolutely no chance that they can pull the upset. Of course, we all know this means that Syracuse will in fact win, but it will be on a last second floater to go up 65-64."
Previewing the Bracket: South Region
"(3) Syracuse vs. (14) Western Michigan; 2:45 pm, CBS - Western Michigan has two excellent guards, especially Shayne Whittington, but give up a lot of fouls and rely on those two guards to keep them in games. Syracuse is likely too much for them, but MAC schools show up in the tournament, as Michigan found out two years ago against Ohio. Take heed, Orange!"
