I'm sure this was just random luck of the draw, since we know the selection committees never try to arrange pairings. It was also fortuitous that Northern Kentucky gets to play Kentucky and Florida Gulf Coast drew Florida State.

The Spartans (25-9) were beaten in the Southern Conference Tournament finals by ETSU.
So we now have round 2: Greensboro vs. Boeheim

http://www.syracuse.com/chiefs/index.ssf/2017/03/syracuse_chiefs_back_jim_boeheim_in_response_to_greensboro_grasshoppers_diss.html

Syracuse, N.Y. -- The Syracuse Chiefs believe Jim Boeheim carries a lot of value, and the baseball team will show its support of him April 7.

That's when the Chiefs will hold a "Jim Boeheim Added-Value Night'' during its game against Rochester at NBT Bank Stadium.

Among the Chiefs' offerings:

Post-game fireworks show
A portion of the 50/50 raffle and $1 of every ticket sold for that night will be donated to the Jim & Juli Boeheim Foundation
T-shirt giveaway for the first 1000+ fans, the total number of giveaways will equal Jim Boeheim's total career wins to date.
Beer specials in honor of National Beer Day
Jim Boeheim look-alike contest during the game, the winner will receive a family four pack to a future game in 2017.
Free admission for fans with a valid North Carolina ID



BTW the Syracuse Chiefs have one of, if not the lowest attendance in AAA while the Grasshoppers have one of the best attendance records in Single A ball (the 'Hoppers average a little over 100,000 more fans per year than the Chiefs).

Anything for a buck.

This gives them time to check out the sights and sounds of upstate NY. Maybe they can rate a few restaurants. I'm hoping they have Cracker Barrel, IHOP, Denny's and Waffle House like all destinations cities, Greensboro being our best example. [OK HAND SIGN]

I'm told Syracuse has exotic foods like hot chicken wings, pizza, and barbecue. Stuff you just can't get in Greensboro... or so I'm told.

The pizza and wings are markedly better. The BBQ is markedly worse. The Dino is bad to average, despite insane amounts of hype.

But the exotic foods would probably consist more of things like chicken speidies and salt potatos.

Disagree...Dinosaur is really good at what they do. It is a tourist spot now...but they deliver.

Italian Food, Irish Pubs deliver in Cuse.

Italian Sausage and Coneys blows away anything found in NC. Brightleaf are horrible red dyed cancer sticks.

I do love all the varieties of Carolina Q...

Probably stuck in the hotel...nearly 2 feet of snow fell.

We don't have Waffle Houses here...

We have more local diners like Mother's Cupboard




And Stella's Menu
