Sorry to be the spelling police.

Syracuse went on a crazy 15-2 run or so rally to tie it up and then sent it into OT on a 3 with 10 seconds left. Now the game is tied again in OT with 3 minutes left. This is practically a home game for Kansas to. Here's to hoping that Richmond doesn't shoot nearly as good as they did at Syracuse.

Scr-w Syracuse. Jim Boeheim is a scumbag, and Eric Devendorf should be in jail.

And Syracuse is going to take a roughly 10 point win in OT. This after being down by 12 points with 8 minutes left in the game. Syracuse is a pretty talented team. This will put them 5-0 with wins over #19 Florida, #22 Kansas and Richmond, our opponent tomorrow. Cuse still has another 10 ranked opponents on the docket the rest of the season. Talk about a grinding schedule.

Speaking of the "championship" game of the CBE, does anyone know how the "champion" is determined?

As it actually turned out, obviously Syracuse is the champion, but they only beat Richmond by five points. What if Richmond had won? I recall Bradley being in tournaments where not everyone played each other (and there was no elimination) and they used point differentials as a tiebreaker. But my impression is that for the CBE they would not have declared Richmond (or Bradley) the winner even if they were undefeated and everyone else lost a game.

Actually the way it was determined was by the regional....only Washington, Florida, Kansas, or Syracuse would be declared Champion...

All the other teams were considered having play in the sub-regional...

Kinda like the tournament at the Sears Center where the teams BU played at Carver were in the subregion and could not win the championship...

I don't know if there is a sub-region trophy or anything as there was in that tournament.

Ah, I see. But it doesn't really sound like a tournament--or rather it sounds like a very small tournament and a whole lot of other games loosely grouped together to circumvent the NCAA rule on exempt games. But hey, if everyone is happy, who am I to complain?
