After running through the East region, the fourth-seeded Orange face the Michigan Wolverines, who won the South region.

It’s been 10 long years since the Orange played for a spot in the championship game. But this week, Syracuse heads to Atlanta for the Final Four. In a season featuring a suspended star player, a late season swoon and a Big East tournament thrill, the Orange is ready to take on the Michigan Wolverines.

“Every time you get there its special, but there’s nothing like the first time,” head coach Jim Boeheim said.

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

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.
