Creighton registered the first upset of the tournament and while none of the statistical projections had that one, kudos to Queenie for pointing out that Syracuse got a bad draw on Selection Monday.
Zone-playing Syracuse draws a three-bombing team like Creighton.
And sure enough, Creighton came in and shot 36 threes (making 11), Syracuse shot just 31% from the field and there you have an upset.
For Syracuse, the loss forces them to wait another year to win their first NCAA tournament game.
