St. Orange played nine games this Golden Hurricane, the Vanderbilt As for the Commodores, the Mary’s lost the WCC Championship season without coach Jim Boeheim Commodores and the Wichita State SEC’s fifth seed also fell to South to Gonzaga, a team many people due to a suspension regarding Shockers. Two of these picks are Carolina this season, but they do predict could be a sleeper in the numerous NCAA violations. During that stretch, Syracuse went just 4-5, losing a home game to Clemson and suffering an ugly 12-point loss to St. John’s (I hate to keep doing this, but South Carolina beat them, too). A perennial powerhouse, the Orange did come up with some quality wins this season, beating Connecticut and Texas A&M in November before topping Duke and Notre Dame during conference play. It appears the committee has discounted the losses the team suffered while Boeheim was away from the bench, which essentially sends this message: We will suspend you for cheating, but have no fear! The committee will completely ignore what happens while your team is not at full strength. Not exactly the best message for the NCAA, which seems to always be under fi re. Simply put, the committee made some mistakes this year in choosing between bubble teams. Plenty of teams outside the field have a strong case, and St. Mary’s may grow increasingly upset with every Gonzaga win in the tournament. Such is the madness of March, however, as the selection never goes Courtesy of MCT Campus without controversy. Coach Jim Boeheim and his Syracuse team is just one of multiple questionable at-large teams to receive tournament bids.
