Who Should Syracuse Fans Be Rooting For in the Big Dance?

March Madness!  The Big Dance!  The Bubble!  Every March, college basketball fans obsess about these topics.  And then the brackets come out and everyone fills one out… trying to decide whether to be a homer or hedge against your school losing early.  But what if your school is not in the bracket?  If your schools stinks (see Northwestern), so be it.  But when you are Syracuse and used to being in the field… it is extremely difficult for fans.  Some may not even bother.  For the rest of the Syracuse fans (and other schools’ fans stuck watching from afar)…regardless of who you PICK to win… who do you ROOT for?

The ACC Blogosphere: February 11, 2015

Here are the five most interesting discussions going on in ACC blogs:

  • Syracuse fans over at Nunes Magician debate an opinion that Jim Boeheim should be suspended for profanity.
  • Florida State fans at Seminole Nation discuss the 2016 recruiting needs.
  • North Carolina fans at Tarheel Blog continue eulogizing the legendary Dean Smith.
  • The Duke basketball report opines–accurately, in the Confidential’s opinion–that Buzz Williams will get Virginia Tech hoops revitalized.
  • BC fans at BC Interruption ponder the specifics of the latest football recruiting class.

What do you think?  Did we miss anything interesting out there?

Also, RIP Jerry Tarkanian.  One of the guys who realized long ago that the NCAA was a terrible organization.
