Syracuse Earns Tourney Spot; Tops Arizona State in Play-In Game

Arizona State loses to Syracuse leaving one Pac-12 team left in NCAA Tournament

Syracuse next gets TCU, led by former Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon.

The team was out on the floor at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday for practice one day ahead of the Horned Frogs' Friday-night matchup with Syracuse - who defeated Arizona State Wednesday night in a play-in game.

The Syracuse defense held Arizona State to 28 points in each half after the Sun Devils had scored 90-or-more points in it's last six contests.

"I try not to think about it just because it's in the past", she told Syracuse.com.

Freshman forward Oshae Brissett led Syracuse with 23 points and 12 rebounds, his second straight double-double. The Orange did not receive any points from the bench.

They utilized the press, they constantly double-teamed the point (Frank Howard) and forced 11 turnovers from the Cuse.

In its 85-70 loss to Virginia Tech, Syracuse was 0 of 16 in the fourth quarter, which haunts Orange guard Tiana Mangakahia.

FINISHING STRONG: TCU won the NIT past year, so the last time the Horned Frogs ended the season with a loss was in 2016 when they lost to West Virginia in the Big 12 Tournament.

Alex Robinson. Robinson was the Horned Frogs top assist man. It'll be interesting to see if the Horned Frogs can carve up the zone - much like Dixon's old Pitt teams were known for. On the season, TCU is averaging 83.0 ppg on 49.9% shooting from the field.

How Far can the Horned Frogs go without Jaylen Fisher?

No. 6 seed TCU (21-11) vs. What TCU lacks in defensive prowess it more than makes up for on offense. The Horned Frogs grab 34.5 percent of their misses to rank 21st nationally in offensive rebounding percentage, and five Horned Frogs shoot better than 33 percent from 3-point range. TCU will be without Jaylen Fisher who is out for the season due to an ACL injury.

Also if we're being honest, this isn't the first time the Orange have won a game in this fashion.

His presence helped force Arizona State to take 32 of 52 shots from behind the 3-point arc on Wednesday. The Tigers slipped into the First Four by getting hot and winning the Southwest Athletic College Tournament, only to be paired with Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Tournament victor N.C. Central, another historically black school that was making its second straight appearance in Dayton for a play-in game.

Syracuse rallied in the second half to defeat Arizona State 60-56 in the last Final Four game of the 2018 NCAA Tournament.
