Syracuse’s story unfolded in such an ugly way all year, starting with Boeheim’s assistant, Bernie Fine, being fired over pedophile allegations. Boeheim recklessly suggested that the accusers were in it for the money. He later apologized. By season’s end, Yahoo! Sports reported that the NCAA is looking into Syracuse’s drug policy, and whether players from past teams failed tests and were still allowed to play. Then Melo was ruled out.

For the most part, analysts, reporters and Boeheim’s coaching buddies were praising him for his success through adversity, not noting that it was his mess.

WTF how long were they saving this? did they change the wording after every round? "kansas st saves sweet 16 from Syracuse scandal....wisconsin saves elite 8 from syracuse scandal..."
