#3 Syracuse

by Peter Bard

National Championships: Just 1

Head Coach: Jim Boeheim

Nickname: Orange, which is way less racist

The ‘Cuse features a lot of big names, but will primarily rely on forwards Derrick Coleman and Carmelo Anthony and guard Dave Bing. They have quality post play with Rony Seikaly and John Wallace, excellent ball-handling with Pearl Washington and Sherman Douglas, good shooting from Lawrence Moten, versatility from Billy Owens, and just a sick fucking afro from Roosevelt Bouie, who decided he’d rather nail Italian chicks than play in the NBA. I get it, man.

Alas, they’re led by Jim Boeheim, who has never seemed to learn that there’s more to coaching than telling kids how to play a zone and then taking a 5-month nap, only to wake up to find that you’ve lost to Taylor Coppenrath and Vermont in the first round.
