Syracuse Vs Wisconsin

Syracuse Vs Wisconsin, If there’s one thing that the 2012 NCAA Tournament has been chock-full of, it’s last-minute drama. Thursday night’s Sweet 16 play saw another instant classic in the game between No. 1 seed Syracuse Orange and the No. 4 Wisconsin Badgers.

Syracuse once again squeaked by and advanced to the Elite Eight, but they needed some heroics combined with some key misses by the Badgers in order to secure the 64-63 win.

The fans of both teams certainly have plenty to talk about following the game. Sean Keeley over at Syracuse blog Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician comments on the win:

All week we heard the same things about the Orange. They can’t rebound. They can’t play slow ball. They can’t force Wisconsin to turn the ball over.

Guess what? They out-rebounded Wisconsin. They played fast, slow and every speed in between. The forced Wisconsin to turn the ball over in bunches.

And that is how they ended up winning a game in which the Badgers made fourteen three-pointers and shot 50% from beyond the arc. It was impossible the way Wisky was making threes. At one point in the second-half, I’m pretty sure they made six in a row. Maybe more. Unbelievable.
