As we celebrate National Orange Day and prepare for Syracuse Orange's game against the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Friday night, we can look back to a bit of history (yes this was done before but it's worth another look).
20 years ago today, the Syracuse Orange upset the Kansas Jayhawks 60-57 in the West Regional Final to advance to the Final Four. It was a bit of an unexpected tournament run for a Syracuse team that had finished 12-6 in the Big East that year after rebounding from a 3-5 conference start.
