NCAA Tournament: Syracuse 57, TCU 52

It was a slog, but the Syracuse Orange upset the TCU Horned Frogs, 57-52.

The game’s most-important plays happened above the rim, but it was decided by Marek Dolezaj stepping far away from it.

Jim Boeheim had put a cap on his range earlier in the season, but with 6:09 remaining in the first half he stepped all the way behind the three-point line for his second outside make of the year.

Dolezaj scored 17 points on 8-of-13 shooting, hitting three shots beyond the intermediate ceiling Boeheim put on his jump shot.
