NCAA Tournament

In the course of coaching a premier college basketball program for nearly five decades, it would be easy to assume that one would get pretty good at assessing their team's chances from one year to the next. On Wednesday at the ACC Men's Basketball Media Day, Boeheim told several reporters that this year's squad of Orange will go to the Big Dance in March. After suffering his first losing season since taking up the profession at Syracuse, the 77 year-old coach is ready to get his team back to playing tournament basketball.

Forget snowstorms, the real Madness of March is about to begin.

The Colgate University Men’s basketball team is going dancing again.

The 11th-seeded Syracuse Orange take on No. 2 Houston on Saturday night in a Sweet 16 showdown as the NCAA Tournament resumes in Indianapolis.

The 11-seeded Syracuse Orange are on to the next round.

For the first time in NCAA Tournament history, a 16-seed has knocked off a No. 1.

The Madness arrived Thursday afternoon with the tip-off of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament featuring 16 games on each of the first two days of the 64-team tournament.

You could argue over whose incredible late season surge has been more surprising or impressive, but the Syracuse Orange men's and women's basketball teams are each headed to the Final Four in their respective NCAA Tournaments.

With the Big Dance on a short break, here are my Top 7 furious-finishes from the 2016 NCAA Tournament's opening weekend.

It's that time of year, we are all filling out our brackets for the big tournament.  May be some big money at stake, right?  Is that why we do it?  Or maybe it's just a friendly bet between friends to see who can get the most picks right?

There's good news and bad news to be found in a video showing the reaction of the Syracuse Men's Basketball team being selected for the 2016 NCAA Tournament.

My bracket was busted in the first day. I had high hopes of winning it all. Yup the million dollars. I was fantasizing about what I would do when I won. I was feeling lucky the day I guessed it out.
