Thanks. You guys had a great season. You did a lot of good things in the game and got some good looks. Just missed them and Buddy was unconscious.

Respect 💯! I really appreciate you!

Respect!!

thanks for having a great attitude man respect

Feels better when the team that beats ya wins the next one too.

That's what I loved about the Big East, teams rooted for other Big East teams. I don't see that at all in the ACC (SU fan here). I still root for Big East teams and enjoy watching their games. I miss it.

Coming from a UConn fan I agree. It was a blast to watch 2 old school Big East teams going at it. I find myself even rooting for Syracuse now. (However not to win it all cuz I still want UConn to hold the record for the being the lowest seeded team ever to win the Championship). (7 seed in 2014)

I’ll root for cuse all day as a wvu fan, there’s nothing more i’d like to see is them win. Hot shooting and that 2-3 zone is so tough.

@@ant5355 That was with Kemba Walker right?

Much respect...look forward to many future duels with you guys...always fun

Go cards and go heels

So true. I love it when SU is ranked at 11

and 10

I just said that #Orangepride

@@MrQuentinwhaley86 2016 they made the final 4 as an 11 seed

Or a 10 seed too lol

#UnderdogNation

I went to both universities but bleed orange

I think it was 2016, but, oh yeah!!! Go orange 🍊🍊🍊🍊!!!!!

GO ORANGE

as a UNC fan this tourney im either pulling for orange or the Ramblers, I'm probably pulling for oranges because its my favorite color.

X factor to winning the championship😈

@@wadewrld6344 Coogs fan here, gg.

@@Minh-fo5fd good luck!

@@wadewrld6344 and to your team's future as well!

It’s even better because most team remaining have never won a national championship excluding UCLA, Kansas, and Villanova

Yeah except no one cares about a cuck season and no one cares about sports in general anymore.

@@huelerhuelin3334 yet here you are on KZfaq only hours after the game ended.. clearly caring about sports.. clearly caring about a “cuck season”. Dork

Very true..........Cuse will be a tough out.

@@openfor45 I have been a fan of Syracuse for like 10 years (That is more than half of my life) They always play hard in the Tourney no matter the opponent.

Very true. They would've made it far a few years ago if Frank Howard didn't test positive for marajuana!!!

seems like they do it purposely lol

@@filapark no it's not purposely, it's just being focused and playing better.

Thank God. Because more than a few games. They were stinking places up. After they left. They looked the worst I'd seen a Cuse team in awhile. They looked like a bunch of 1 star recruits. With no will to win.

Exactly why I wanted to play Rutgers next round. The Cuse team that they beat in December is no longer around. This is a new team and I feel like they would have doubted us, but oh well, onto Houston!!!

Bandwagon go cards and go heels 😉

Itll probably be a pretty high scoring game we have nobody to stop the Houston guards and well, i don't think there isna soul in this tournament that can guard buddy lol! Should be a great down to the wire game though!

They’re a tournament team

8th in a down year for the acc too!

And a chance for Syracuse to win their 2nd NCAA title, 1st in 18 years.

Bye West Virginia!

Live or die by the 3 pointer. I bet they lose next round because that was a 1 in million shooting

I'm a diehard fan also man. hope they go a the way

I’m a fan. A diehard one? Probably not.

As a coogs fan, gg. You played hard.

@@Minh-fo5fd appreciate it 💪🏽

@@RenegadeRi it’s been very exciting but I don’t think it’s top 3 out of the past 10 years

Bleed orange 🍊🍊🍊! Let the haters sleep and we will be in the final four!!!

I don't, they always play good come tourney time. Good luck vs. Houston.

Im taking bama and loyola rn they look so dangerous but mostly Loyola's defense theyreba tough group

Lol

Oof as a UH fan

Their opponents in the tournament do not play against this style zone defense that Boeheim as mastered.

It’s honestly a relatively new phenomenon. Old M.O. for a long time was underperforming in the tournament, but lately we’ve been bubble Cuse that no one wants to face.

McNeil hit some DEEP and tough ones too. Great high level game.

It was only one deep three from Girard tho..

McNeil hits one from 28, so Girard comes right down and hits one from 30. Later, Buddy joined in. I was confused, wondering whether some local car dealer was giving away a free car for making shots from the logo. Never saw a game with so many deep threes.

@@controlleddemolition9112 I mean guys like McNeil, Girard, and Buddy have range. All encouraged to let them fly. Tough teams to play and they pass well. Buddy gave McNeil props in the post game presser. Like he said, McNeil can shoot and gets great elevation on the shot. That was a fun (as a Cuse guy) and high level game.

@@pmiahky True, and I was just joking, of course, about the car dealer. If you scanned my comments from way back, you'd see that I am a proponent of the "deep three". I think it's underrated and underutilized. In this day and age, with all the hand checking, holding, riding and bumping they allow in college basketball, it's not easy to get open for a shot right at the arc, and when you drive it, you have to play through so much contact that it's hard to be efficient. For a shooter with range who's "feeling it", a 28 footer for 3 points is a better percentage than a contested three from closer or a contested two.

Now iowa L

2007 college football season???

@@Fabo100 search it up on KZfaq

Go cards and go heels Louisville and cuse had some battles last game in freedom hall and we beat y'all when they were number one sheeeeeeesh

This is the magic of March

Go Syracuse 🌟🧶🔥

@@agimlika6979 it would be nice to see them make Elite 8 along with Loyola and maybe Rutgers 👀 even Oregon St could make it

@@michaelalvarez716 I’m here when Rutgers lost to Houston

@@user-rq1fc8pc6v yeah I saw that they chocked so bad 😂

And now its looking like oregon state is gonna win as well

That's what I want so badly! As a SU fan, I have Loyola heading to the Final Four. I won't even care if SU gets to the elite 8 and loses by that point, because that would be a fun a$$ game to watch!

As a KU fan, that title was all Carmelo

Our 2-3 zone is not the reason we only have one title. Its Melo only staying for one year...Lets go Orange Nation!!

Is he the coaches son?

@@nosupa yeah

@LuLincoln: We won that game on GMac's hot first half and your guys terrible FT shooting that night. I'm convinced that Lee would've drained that 3 had Hak not blocked it. He had that basket in his crosshairs. I was at that game--it was the same basket Smart beat us in 1987.

Never

al mcguire!!!

Spoken like a true 315 fan. Let’s gooooooooooooooooooooo

He should definitely have the opportunity with all the attention Buddy’s getting. It’s just nice to see everybody getting involved. And Dolezaj running point? Love that.

CUSE BABY!#!! SOMETHINGS BREWIN! I CAN FEEL IT!!

@dan You ask...We remain here!! Reporting live from N.E D.C

Me.

You need to burn some calories..

I had Illinois Ohio st

You mean elite 8?

Griffin is obviously on a very short leash. It's mainly because of his defense and rebounding or, rather, that Braswell is an improvement there and, with Edwards playing a little more, they can play Marek on the wing. I fear that Griffin is the odd man out, but there is some hope. He's been a "no show", relegated to watching, in one game only to come back and lead them in scoring the next. One thing about him is that he can shoot over people, and a hand in his face doesn't even faze him. When he's hot, he unguardable out there, and he's capable of scoring at the rim. Ironically, he left Illinois because they were so loaded that he wasn't getting as much playing time as he thought he deserved. Now, he's getting even less, and you could make the case that Illinois needed his 3-pt shooting more than SU does. This team has no shortage of 3-pt shooters, and when three of them (ie, Buddy, Girard and Griffin) are threats from the logo, it's hard to defend everyone.

Me neither, and I've been watching since 1969.

Was this really an upset though? West Virginia was 19-9 Syracuse is 17-9 coming into this game. Sorry this is me but I didn't see this has some huge upset. These were two mediocre teams during the regular season.

@@pp3k3jamail I just meant in general.

@@a7xtherevrend Why is everybody so surprised by ohio state losing, like that you acting like Ohio state was 24-2 or something. Ohio State was 21-10 on the season entering the tournament. Any of the year Ohio state would've been a 7 seed with that many loses instead of a two seed.

@@pp3k3jamail The big 12 was a bit stronger than the acc this year and all of wv’s loses were close against pretty good teams

That matchup would be epic ngl

@@thenightmaricsenpai524 I’m scared of sister Jean though 😂

@@Grayson_Cole maybe we can get sister jean on our side huh? LOL shes the tournament X factor and krutwig is playing some of the most under the radar basketball rn

That 2-3 D confuses the best of teams

West Virginia missed so many shots from 3 or 4 feet Culver was getting doubled & Emmitt Matthews geez he missed 4 or 5 himself!!!!

It was a great game and we kinda let off forna second at the end but thank you for the great game! It was definitely the test we needed before playing houston i hope you cheer us on!
