Syracuse headed to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2003 (won the national championship).

So apparently that last play was designed to specifically send Syracuse to the Elite Eight.
As everyone else here seems to agree, that was one of the worst end-game demonstrations of all-time.
Congrats to the Orangemen. It's been quite a year in central New York.

If Michigan State (currently trailing Louisiville) and Ohio State fall tonight, watch the hype of a overrated Big Ten crap hit tomorrow...

Makes 100% sense, CBF. Familiarity can be dangerous. Good luck tonight.

Big East about to go 2-0 vs the Big Ten if MSU doesn't turn it around now.

And all 3 losses would have come at the hands of the Big East. I don't think all 3 B1G teams lose tonight though.

ESPN loves the Big East like they do the SEC in football.

Gorgui Dieng is really solid defensively.

Izzo is a hell of a coach, but I'd also like to see Pitino get to another Final Four. He's one of the game's true greats, and, had he stayed at UK and said no to the excesses of the NBA, Pitino would already have over 800 wins by now and rings adorning several fingers.
Pitino versus Donovan in the regional final would be a pretty intriguing mentor-pupil duel.

I love the Big Ten. But I have always been a huge Pitino fan.

That missed foul shot and bucket just summed up the MSU game. Epic fail.

9 point deficit with 2:00 left in this low-scoring game...it's over.

This is just embarrassing for Michigan State. It's on Ohio State and Indiana to carry the B1G flag from here on out.

I don't think Izzo has a right to complain. If he made the free throw and then they caught it the point would have been taken off of the board.

Does picking Louisville to go the national championship last year still count? Stupid Louisville, a year late damn it. With Duke bowing out prematurely (or perhaps maturely), that's two years that I've wildly failed.

Louisville is UCONN.
