Pitoniak: SU will have its hands full vs. Indiana
The odds of Syracuse winning it all have improved to 12-1. (That's a pretty significant jump, because after the way the Orange men stumbled to the regular-season finish line with four losses in their final five, those odds were probably 100-1 two weeks ago.) And the odds of Jim Boeheim blowing a gasket this week after being asked about Keith Smart for the second or third time are 2-1.

This week will be painful, Syracuse fans. I’m not saying it will affect the team in any way since they weren’t born yet, but for fans this can be an opportunity for some closure with a win over the Hoosiers Thursday night. Syracuse has won a National Championship since that terrible night which eases the pain a little bit, but when the Orange and Hoosiers meet up in the nation’s capital Thursday, the memories will still be there. And for the Orange faithful, the hatred will still be there as well.
Syracuse men's lacrosse loss to Villanova, what to take away | syracuse.com
Normally I would say a team doesn’t need to worry about one ugly performance and how it might affect them the rest of the year. But going 2-for-24 on faceoffs after having all sorts of issues at the X last year has to give Syracuse cause for concern.
The Hoosiers rank third in the NCAA in points and three-point percentage and sixth in field-goal percentage.

"Right now we're still members of the Big East, and we're representing the Big East right now," coach Jim Boeheim said. "But it's kind of, it's a real gray area, there, I think, as well. Really when we get to this stage I really think that we're representing Syracuse at this stage pretty much."

7. Sacramento Kings: Michael Carter-Williams, Syracuse. Word of caution to other mockers out there: if you dare replace "Sacramento Kings" with "Seattle SuperSonics" in your mock before the NBA makes its decision, I will find you and I will stab you with a very sharp Dario Saric.
