Result: Win
Taking SYRACUSE here. I will tell you this. Not surprised in the least to see the Orange here. I mean. Doesn't seem like every year, the team that is not suppose to be in, and doesn't deserve a spot, always win that Round 1 game? Well, Syracuse took care of their part. Now, they have a legit shot at getting to the Sweet 16. Hello Mid Tennessee State. Clearly, at least in my eyes. One of, if not the best upset of all-time. I thought Sparty was robbed of a 1 seed and were Final Four material. Holy cow. Bracket Busted. But onto Sunday. So MDST is off the biggest game and win of their lives. They hit every FT down the stretch. Which is saying something cause as team they hit 60% from the stripe. One guy hitting better than 68% from the FT line. With 27 seconds left in the game, they hit 7 of 8 FTs missing the last with 5 seconds left and a tidy lead. They were 6-12 of before that. They won't catch lightning in a bottle again. Orange, as up and down as they were, are still an ACC team. With ACC talent. Fact is, Syracuse as much as a Cinderella underdog. They are they guys nobody wanted here. 8* Sure Shot SYRACUSE
