Syracuse earned a 3-seed with its impressive run in the Big East Tournament.
The last time SU was a 3-seed a freshman named Carmelo Anthony led them to the National Championship.
The last two times they went to the Big East Final they lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
I don't think Stephen F. Austin is much of a threat (though an upset is possible) and I even think SU should beat Arizona State (even though James Harden is pretty good).
That would leave a Sweet 16 matchup against Oklahoma. I think SU will get eaten alive by Blake Griffin especially because our interior players are undisciplined defenders prone to foul trouble. But a lot of people are saying there's a chance Oklahoma will get knocked off before then.
If somehow SU got through that game, a matchup in the Regional Final against North Carolina would surely be their downfall.
But you never know what's going to happen, so you just have to watch.
SU plays at 12:15 on Friday afternoon and should they win the round two game will be Sunday at noon, the only game in that time slot so the whole nation will be getting our game.

We going to have a bracket challenge group on ESPN so i can continue my victories (bowl mania)
I loved what I've seen from Syracuse and hope they win their region.
As a close ACC watcher, believe me that if Ty Lawson is less than 90% healthy (which remains to be seen), Syracuse can definitely take Carolina out.
That said, he's certainly well rested, and if he's in good health, I think UNC can go all the way.
