Michigan spoiled what would have been one heck of a going-away party for the Big East on Saturday night, beating Syracuse 61-56 to earn a spot in Monday night's championship game against top-seeded Louisville. Now the Cardinals have less than 48 hours to get ready for a team they haven't played since 1978. ...

No, this is quite a team — all the way down the roster. Fearlessly attacking Syracuse's suffocating zone in the first half, getting big contributions off the bench, and hanging on for dear life at the end, the Wolverines advanced to the national championship game with a 61-56 victory over th...

How do you score against the Syracuse 2-3 zone defense? Lately, there seems to be no answer. More than any single player, it's the amoeba-like creation crafted by Jim Boeheim over the past 37 seasons and honed to near perfec...

The new Jim Boeheim and his more player-friendly attitude will be there as well.

You'll have to wait for the Final Four. Syracuse and Marquette both won their East Regional semifinal games Thursday night and that means the Big East will have a team in Atlanta next week.

The No. 4-seeded Orange won't have that element in their favor in the NCAA tournament's East Regional final. That's because Syracuse wi...

(AP) — A 12-minute drought without a field goal. Six made baskets in the second half. Fifteen missed free throws. Those ugly offensive numbers somehow added up to an NCAA tournament win for Syracuse thanks to a suffocating zone defense that took California and its hometown fans out of the game. C.J.
