Syracuse Survives, VCU Wins Again In NCAA Tournament

Syracuse survived a major scare and VCU pulled off another upset in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.  The Orange held on for a 72-65 win over UNC-Asheville in the East Region to avoid becoming the first number-one seed in tournament history to lose to a 16 seed.  The 12th-seeded Rams of VCU knocked off fifth-seeded Wichita State, 62-59, in the South Region.  VCU shockingly advanced to the Final Four last year.  Also in the South Region, 11th-seeded Colorado upended sixth-seeded UNLV, 68-64.
