The No. 2-ranked and BET one-seed Syracuse Orange finally return to action today when they take on the Connecticut Huskies at 12 p.m. in the Quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament.
It wasn't pretty, but it was a win. The Huskies will take on Syracuse tomorrow.
The Syracuse Orange still have a looooong way to go before they can even start planning for the Final Four. However, that's not stopping Kris Joseph from doing a little daydreaming.
The one-seed Syracuse Orange will know who their Thursday opponent is after the Connecticut Huskies and West Virginia Mountaineers settle their differences for the final time Wednesday afternoon.
Despite our hopes that Thursday's game for the Syracuse Orange would be as cakewalk-y as possible, the DePaul Blue Demons could not pull the upset on Tuesday. Instead, they got throttled 81-67 by the Connecticut Huskies.
The 9-seed Connecticut Huskies and 16-seed DePaul Blue Demons kick off the Big East Tournament on Tuesday. The winner will move on to face the 8-seed West Virginia Mountaineers on Wednesday and those two will play for the right to take on the 1-seed Syracuse Orange on Thursday.
