http://www.yardbarker.com/content/team/815 Recent articles about the Syracuse Orange en-us Here's a good article pleading with five underclassmen to not enter the NBA draft and stay a couple more years, for the sake of the NBA and themselves. No. 5 is Lousville's Derrick Caracter, who has already signed an agent, foregoing college officially...so he probably should have read this article first before he decided to go for it.

No more watching the Terps on the court - even when they play badly, that's sad news.

Well, this Tuesday at 7 PM EST in the Carrier Dome that question might just be answered.

Where's my t-shirt, "My favorite team is Syracuse and anyone who beats Gerorgetown," or my all time favorite "Your Mother's a Hoya."

His clutch plays (and ESPN's tendency to overrate him) were noted by college basketball fans nationwide. How exactly has McNamara faired professionally? Where is he now?

Now, my team doesn't have all the star players or the ones you would think would be on it or the most well known or popular players, but I guarantee if this team played any other All American Team, this team would be victorious every time just because I think they would complement each other really well. So without anymore waiting, here is my team: Starters: G-Sean Singletary, Virginia G-Robert Jarvis, Oral Roberts G-DeMarcus Nelson, Duke F-Donte Green, Syracuse F-DeJuan Blair, Pittsburgh Bench: G-Tyrese Rice, Boston College G-Jerel McNeal, Marquette G-Jack McClinton, Miami F-Ryan Anderson, Cal F-Robbie Hummel, Purdue There is my team. If you think I missed anybody or you have a comment, they are all welcome.

If Villanova can upset #1 ranked Georgetown in round 2, then they will be sure to lock up a spot in this year's NCAA tournament.

The top 7 teams are all in the RPI top 32, so who's gonna win? The Contenders: #1 Georgetown - The Hoyas will have to focus out of the gates, as their first round game will be against a hungry bubble team. After that, the Hoyas could win it all. With their slow style, the games won't be blowouts, but the Hoyas don't have any losses outside the RPI top 50 all year. Very solid. Games to Watch: #1 G'Town vs. #8 Syracuse or #9 Villanova - The 8/9 game is clearly a play-out game, and the winner will get a shot at the Hoyas. The Orange beat G'Town recently, and the Wildcats were a cheap late foul short of OT in DC. A win over the Hoyas would probably put either team in.

A week from today it is selection Sunday and before you know it the tournament is here. So for all of the College Basketball fans in the yard this is one of your last chances to join in on the fun. So far we have around 15 people in the league and more are planning on joining. So if you are interested in joining the group comment on here and then send me a message with your email and I will send you an invite. Please join as soon as possible as I would like people to get a longer time to fill out your brackets.

Big wins in late February always lead to hot debates in March, but this year, no one on the bubble appears to be capable of making a decent case.

Since then 13 people have joined the group and it is only going to get better as many people who are interested haven't signed up yet. So if you are interested in joining on this new tradition in the yard, leave a comment on the article and send me a message with your email address and I will send you an invite.
