The Syracuse Orange advanced "unexpectedly" after taking out the #6 seed San Diego State and the #3 West Virginia Mountaineers. The 2-3 Zone did exactly what you'd expect it would in March, confusing teams who don't regularly see it. Meanwhile Buddy Buckets kept dropping dimes from deep at a clip of 56%. Insane. Can the upset train keep rolling?
Syracuse takes on Houston out of the AAC. Yes, now that UConn is back in the Big East, several teams are vying for the top stop, with Houston looking the best. They are top 10 in offensive and defensive efficiency.
