Could Syracuse Be The First One Seed To Lose To A Sixteen Seed?
Syracuse basketball could be in a world of hurt. Within the last hour, news broke that center Fab Melo is ineligible for the NCAA Tournament, per this statement from the school.
Syracuse University sophomore men’s basketball center Fab Melo did not travel with the team to Pittsburgh, and will not take part in the NCAA Tournament due to an eligibility issue. Given University policy and federal student privacy laws, no further details can be provided at this time.
This led to a lot of people changing their brackets and having Syracuse eliminated early on. Early on Tuesday, Ken Pomeroy posted an interesting piece, where he believes that this is the year a one seed finally loses to a 16. He points out that three of the strongest 16 seeds of the last decade are in this tournament.
One of those 16s is UNC-Asheville, who happens to be Syracuse’s first opponent. The time is ripe for a 16 to finally slay Goliath.
Be way Syracuse fans. This may not end well.
