Syracuse takes on Seattle University in the NCAA Round of 16. This is the first game hosted by the Orange this late in the NCAA Tournament and should provide a solid test for the squad.
Going into the season, this Syracuse Orange team was teetering on the edge of rankings. They lost early in the year to a Hofstra team that ended up making the NCAA Tournament, but at the time was outside looking in. The team was young and took their hits as the season went on, maturing as they've gone. After some early dings, this team seems to keep rolling.
