It appeared that neither of these teams had put together enough of a resume to make the NCAA Tournament field, but both of their names were called on selection Sunday, and both have survived with a chance to advance to the Elite 8 as double-digit seeds. Syracuse was given a lot of credit for a rugged ACC schedule, softening the fact they lost 13 games. It wasn't the losses that got the Cuse here it was the wins over Duke, UConn, Notre Dame, and Texas A&M. This is a tough matchup for Gonzaga which has been using its size to win games, which will be negated to an extent against the Syracuse zone, which allows 40% shooting and just 30% from deep. Gonzaga faced just four NCAA Tournament teams on the season and beat just one of them by three points, and just hasn't been the team most have become used to at Gonzaga, still good, but not good enough. Play on Syracuse.
