NCAA Tournament tracker: Which results mattered most for Syracuse on Friday?

With the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team out of the ACC Tournament, we’ve done all we can in terms of resume and now wait for Selection Sunday. SU’s 20-13 with a couple marquee wins (at Duke, Louisville) and some success on the road. We know we’re in the NCAA Tournament field. We just don’t know exactly where we’re seeded yet.

While Syracuse can’t do anything about their seeding at this point, other teams around the country can impact that to some extent. Here’s a quick rundown of the games that mattered to one extent or another:

Duke 74, North Carolina 73

No matter who you were rooting for last night, this was a fantastic game (though why UNC didn’t call a timeout to fix the broken offensive set at the end, I don’t understand).
