First/Last Meeting: This is the first meeting between these teams. Just making sure you’re reading this.

“Fear Me, I’ve Killed Hundreds of Timelords”: Team 23 features a very balanced attack but Walter Lemon, Jr is the type of point guard who has caused Syracuse fans angst over the years. Lemon’s a Bradley alum with plenty of experience and Boeheim’s Army needs to contain him.
If Syracuse Wins: Well there’s that one million dollar cash prize to start but really it would be great to see Tyler Lydon and Eric Devendorf (?) go out as winners.
If Syracuse Loses: It’ll sting to get so close to the title and fall short, but let’s be honest it’s been fun watching some Cardiac Cuse games this summer.
Fun Fact: The Commander-in-Chief of Boeheim’s Army will be in Dayton for this game. Please don’t drink every time ESPN shows him in the crowd.
