Damn. I so wanted Colgate in the next round just to slap JGold around some :). I guess beating Notre Dame will have to do. Expect a ton of Orange at "neutral" Ithaca.
Canisius in the first round. Second-round game vs. ND in nearby Ithaca.
Sounds like the NCAA is happy to have SU back in the tournament.
There's a huge sigh of relief all throughout Syracuse. The Orange might just have a chance at a final four berth now that Colgate isn't in the way.
Ohio State looked awesome crushing cornell. They that good ! Hope other people got chance to see OSU's goalie run the field and score a goal11
