The Orange are moving on to the Final Four. Here's a recap of the weekend's games and reactions for the fans.

A weekend full of tough defense and tougher shots culminated in Syracuse’s first Final Four berth in ten years.

After a disappointing finish to the regular season and its last Big East tournament, Syracuse looked poise to prove itself on the biggest stage: the NCAA tournament. It wasn’t an easy road for the fourth-seeded Orange, who needed to push its way through Big Ten and Big East powerhouses Indiana (29-7) and Marquette (26-9) before finally re-living the Final Four dream.
