The Madness arrived Thursday afternoon with the tip-off of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament featuring 16 games on each of the first two days of the 64-team tournament.
After an opening weekend featuring several buzzer beaters and exciting finishes, the middle rounds of the men's NCAA tournament where ho-hum. But, that ended Monday in the closing seconds of the 2015-16 season in what the most thrilling finish to a title game in recent memory as Villanova won a National Championship 77-74 over North Carolina.
When Marc Deperno of the Sitrin Medical Rehabilitation Center booked Syracuse University seniors Trevor Cooney and Michael Gbinije to headline this year's Sitrin STARS Wheelchair Basketball Classic, he never thought it would be this big.
You could argue over whose incredible late season surge has been more surprising or impressive, but the Syracuse Orange men's and women's basketball teams are each headed to the Final Four in their respective NCAA Tournaments.
CHICAGO (AP) — Michael Gbinije made a go-ahead layup with 22 seconds left, sending Syracuse to a 63-60 victory over Gonzaga on Friday night and a spot in the Elite Eight.
