Tuesday was a wonderful day, the kind of basketball ACC fans like to see in March. Everett Case would have been thrilled.
Toss in a bit of controversy and it was a great day.
The controversy came in Syracuse’s stunning win over Florida State. Remember the Orange came in losing four straight and two of those in excruciating ways. We thought that Florida State had shown a lot of character recently and that would lead them past Syracuse.
Not even close.
Led by Cole Swider, the ‘Cuse blew the doors off of Florida State. FSU now has Anthony Polite, Caleb Mills and Ray’Quan Evans back.
