This is an awesome win for Ole Miss. It is not easy to go into cuse and win on the road. Nice job today.

Good win Rebs. I love seeing that smarmy Boeheim lose.

Really is great that we get a game at the Pavillion for a chance to go to the Garden. Give them something to build on for next year, and give Saiz a good farewell tour. Im pumped.

It seems every SEC team on here is saying this about next year. Either the SEC is finally on the way up in basketball or folks don't pay attention to what is going on with the other teams in the league.

Terence Davis will be one of the best players in the SEC. Ole Miss comes down to what they can get out of their bigs. That backcourt will give them a chance in any game.

I do as well. I've been looking over the talent coming in with the coaching we now have and I think we're in for a fun next few years.

Syracuse is a mirror image of Arkansas historically in many ways.

Congrats to Ole Miss. Nice wins against Monmouth and Syracuse on the road to get to the Garden.

Syracuse is 2nd tier elite but I just don't think their heart was in the NIT. Fans usually pack the Dome.

6th all time in wins and tied for 8th in final four appearances. Answer is yes.

Elite programs have more than 1 NCAA title.

All of the NCAA stuff has kind of decimated the program and it will never be the same.

Syracuse was in the Final Four last year and was a bubble team this year. Slow your roll.

Syracuse is in the Blue Blood second tier, with Louisville, Arizona, Georgetown, UConn and Michigan State.

You mean to get back to the Pavilion. Gotta win one more to get the Garden.

This is just stupid. They still are a power who recruits at a high level and easy access to elite NY/NorthEast talent. Got a passionate fan base at a clear BBall school + great court

No

They are above average but not elite.

#1 Do you play in a dedicated basketball arena of do you use the football stadium
#2 Do you have more than 1 NCAA National Championship
#3 Have you won said championships with more than 1 coach
#4 Can your basketball coach run for governor and win
#5 Can you sell 80,000 seats for a non conference regular season game
#6 Can you win without obvious flopping
