With Hoya Suxa returning fire by posting the distasteful video of De'Jon Jackson's ridiculous game-winning shot in last year's NCAA Tournament, we felt it necessary to bring out the heavy mock-tillery.
So this is a very simple post: Here are the teams that have won an NCAA Tournament game since Syracuse last won a game in the Big Dance. For those of you wondering, the 'Cuse has been winless in the tournament that matters since the 2004 second round.
Following that, there will be a list of UConn players that have won more NCAA Tournament games (from 2004-2008) than any player in a Syracuse jersey.
