March Madness is upon us and the Orangemen have just been seeded the 5th position in the West bracket. Can we do it again? Tough to say, especially considering that we managed to beat University of Connecticut and then lose to Boston College. From the Daily Orange:

By any name, SU is happy with its spot in the tournament. Just one month ago, it appeared the Orangemen would be in danger of fighting for a spot in the Big Dance. Instead, despite Warrick's late concern, the Orangemen comfortably fit into the bracket. "From where we were two or three weeks ago and everything that's happened, we're thrilled to be in the tournament and to get a five seed," Boeheim said. "For a little bit longer, we're going to be the defending national champions. We're not ready to give it up, and I think somebody's going to have to take it away from us."

And we will be watching and cheering right along side the team. Go Syracuse!
