The Orange and the Sun Devils join St. Bonaventure and UCLA among the last four teams selected to the tournament.

If the Orange wins its game, it would face the victor of No. 1 Mississippi State and No. 16 Nicholls in a second-round game Monday in Starkville.

Can they do it again as an 11 seed starting with a First Four game against Arizona State Wednesday at 9:10pm on TruTV?

This is the sixth season in a row that Syracuse has reached the NCAA Tournament. Arizona, a No. 4 seed in the South, has been roiled by a report that wiretaps caught coach Sean Miller, a former Pitt and Blackhawk standout, discussing a $100,000 payment to freshman Deandre Ayton. It also features arguably the nation's most electric player in Trae Young, who led Oklahoma in as a No. 10 seed despite the Sooners going 2-8 down the stretch.

The NCAA revealed the entire field of 68 teams during TBS' NCAA March Madness Selection Show on Sunday to the delight of head coach Bobby Hurley.

The Orange entered Selection Sunday on the bubble with a 20-13 record after losing to No. 6 seed North Carolina 78-59 on Wednesday in the ACC Tournament. It features a possible second-round South Region matchup between No. 5 seed Kentucky and fourth-seeded Arizona, each of which won its conference tournament. Also in Idaho are 2017 national runner-up Gonzaga, which would have a home-court advantage of sorts in a second-round matchup against either Ohio State or South Dakota State. They finished just tied for eighth in an unimpressive year for the Pac-12, but still snuck into the tournament thanks to their stellar nonconference resume.

In all, seven teams from the Big 12 made the tournament, including 10-seed Texas, which will play Nevada on Friday in Nashville.
