Well, despite what most college hoops pundits thought, the Orange of Syracuse did not make the NCAA Tournament. Many thought their big win on Big Monday over Big East Champ Georgetown would seal the deal for the Orange. Others thought they had secured an invitation after handily beating UCONN in the Big East Tournament. So much so, that the local paper, the Syracuse Sub, I mean Post, Standard had the headline, "Dialed in for the Dance" on the front page of the Sports section the day after the UCONN game. Now this is pretty shotty reporting, since there was no actual evidence that they were in after that win. Basically the Sub Standard was, flat out wrong. Of course this isn't the first time, and, hopefully, for this blog's sake won't be the last. But, if we could, let's stop beating around the bush here people. The real reason the Orange aren't in...those weird new uniforms. Now I'm sure they will grow on me, maybe they won't, who cares? I mean the tight shirts with uber-baggy pants looks goofy. The white ones especially, as they really accentuate the whiteness of Eric Devendorf and Andy Rautins. This has to be the reason SU is headed to the NIT. But there's no sense in crying over spilled milk. It's time to strut our stuff in the NIT and win the whole effin' thing! So bring the noise South Alabama! We're ready! And tune in tomorrow for my NIT preview and picks!
