Syracuse lacrosse had a disappointing end to their up-and-down season, losing to the Georgetown Hoyas, 18-8.

Syracuse lacrosse faces fifth-seeded Georgetown in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Syracuse punched its ticket to the postseason Sunday night with an opening round road game against fifth-seeded Georgetown.

The Syracuse Orangemen played an extra session in three of their five NCAA games in the 1975 postseason, which UCLA recently matched.

Jim Boeheim previewed that there may be several transfers announced in the next few weeks as the offseason begins.

The second-seeded Houston Cougars lived up to their reputation as one of the best defensive teams in the nation.

DeJon Jarreau’s steal and thunderous slam with 3:09 left put the Cougars up 58-43, and an exclamation point on their ticket to the Elite 8.

Boeheim has been blistering the nets for a month, but is likely to see heavy doses of Jarreau, the AAC Defensive Player of the Year.

During the four postseason games Buddy Boeheim has played in, he’s averaging 28.2 ppg on 55.8 percent shooting from beyond the arc.

Houston is led by Quentin Grimes, who claimed both the AAC Player of the Year and AAC Tournament MVP awards this season.
