Syracuse Basketball: After All That, Orange End Up Firmly "In" the NCAA Tournament

All the terror and anguish and negativity tossed around about the Syracuse Orange's chances to make the 2016 NCAA Tournament ended up being for naught. The Orange earned themselves a 10-seed in the Midwest region. Syracuse avoids the play-in game, though not Dayton, as they'll face the Flyers in the opening round. You probably remember that SU's 2014 season ended against the Flyers in a brutal, offense-deprived game that put an unfortunate cap on a season we all remembered fondly to that point (sort of).

Of course, the tension was cut by the first-ever (to my knowledge) leak of the NCAA Tournament bracket in advance.
