Congrats to cuse. They have no business being in the tourney and got a great draw but they took full advantage. Crazy that they get another favorable matchup

6 ACC teams in the sweet 16 it looks like.. That's pretty sick for them.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Man the ACC is showing strong in the tourni and that is not even including Louisville

 

[Deep Creek]

I see that Big12 team workin...

Got to since Tech, Texas, Baylor and your couch burners stunk it up.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

To be fair though alot of those terms are former BEast.

Yep. Better than all the rest of the P5s IMO.

@jonvi How about them Orange? On to the sweet 16.

I said the same thing and they are the dangerous team from here. Playing with no pressure and house money. I won't bet against Jimmy Boeheim. They played a complete game. I think they take out Gonzaga and will eventually lose to Virginia.

the flagrant call on Texas am might be the worst one I've ever seen. It is incidental u morons

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Don't even act like that was the case in OU VCU. Refs were bad both ways.

VCU easily got most of it

Welcome to the party, @jonvi !!

Yeah, only three of them are "original" ACC. However, Miami's been in the ACC just as long as they were in the Big East. Also, as I said earlier, when I think of old school BE, I really don't think Notre Dame, either. South Carolina was in the ACC as long as Notre Dame was in the Big East. Syracuse is the exact definition of old school Big East though.

Go Cuse!! More haters more wins!!!

 

[mall3013]

Syracuse doesn't beat the team I saw playing MI State today!

You were saying? That was a complete dismantle that the Orange put on today.

Are you trying to discount it because of this?

The ACC is far and away the best conference in CBB now, regardless of how long Syracuse has been in the league.

Sucks that Cuse, who shouldn't have made the tourney let alone making it as a 10 seed to avoid first 4, now is onto the sweet 16 because the 15 seed blew their load in the first round upset and had nothing left today. Go Zags I guess.

Every year somebody gets screwed out of the tourney. The fact that Cuse plays in the ACC is probably the reason they got in. I agree they didn't deserve it, but it is what it is. They are going to roll Gonzaga next. I think they lose to Virginia in the Elite 8?

Were the late Sunday games always this late?

9:40 start for the last game? NCAA is trying to make me lose my job.

I agree Syracuse shouldn't have gotten in, but ACC schools are now 23-2 in the first two rounds of the tourney over the last two years.

Those teams are going to get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to getting in, and they're at least winning. It'd be much worse to get in and be one and done.

Believe it or not, if it gets to it, they match up pretty favorably with UVA.
