NCAA Tournament 2014: (3) Syracuse Orange vs. (14) Western Michigan Broncos GameThread

Forget about the 25-0 start. Forget about the way the season ended ("What way the season ended? Don't know what you're talking about."). The Syracuse Orange are 0-0 and the season begins right here and right now.

The 3-seed Orange take on the 14-seed Western Michigan Broncos in the second round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament as they begin their quest to return to the Final Four for a second-straight season.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

• The game tips at 2:53 p.m. ET and will be live on CBS. For more info on the rivalry, history and bios, check here.
• We spoke to Hustle Belt about the Broncos (and shared some insight into the Orange as well).
• Make sure you enter the Bracket Challenge if you haven't already. We got prizes and everything.
