Tuesday is the last day of the week where Syracuse fans will need caffeinated beverages, but that is only if you are interested in staying up late for the lone game that affects the Orange’s chances.
Sorry to disappoint you, Syracuse fans, but even though the Orange looked terrible in their last two games against Louisville and Pittsburgh, the overwhelming likelihood is that they are still going to make the NCAA Tournament.
The 1995-96 Syracuse basketball team, which made it all the way to the National Championship game, was honored during halftime of Saturday’s Syracuse-Pittsburgh game.
After leading Louisville for the majority of the first half, and by as many as 12, Syracuse found itself down 28-27 at intermission following a Trey Lewis 3-pointer at the buzzer.
