Tyler Ennis, C.J. Fair, Trevor Cooney and Jerami Grant played well down the stretch to help SU advance to 19-0.

For the second time in four weeks, Syracuse played a difficult, grind-it-out game against a tough Miami team. For the second time in four weeks, Syracuse used a late run to put Miami away.

The No. 2 Orange (19-0, 6-0) remained undefeated thanks to a 15-3 run to close out a 64-52 win over Miami (10-9, 2-5).

A breakdown of No. 4 Syracuse's first game in the NCAA tournament against the No.13 Montana Grizzlies.

March Madness is upon us and the Syracuse University men’s hoops team (26-9) received the No. 4 seed in this year’s NCAA Tournament East region. The Orange play the No. 13 seeded University of Montana Grizzlies (25-6) Thursday in San Jose, Calif.

As far as Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim is concerned, he said he thought his team jumped four lines with its performance at the Big East Tournament.

“I think the Big East Tournament had a big effect in our seeding,” Boeheim said. “Pittsburgh is a No. 8 seed and we beat Pittsburgh.”
