At halftime in the Syracuse-UNC Asheville game, the Bulldogs lead the Orange by a score of 34-30 in the second round of the NCAA tournament. The winner between No. 1 seeded Syracuse and No. 16 seeded UNC Asheville, will go on to play the Kansas State Wildcats, the East's No. 8 seed team, in the third round.
Syracuse was led by Dion Waiters, who came off the bench to score 12 points. Brandon Triche added five and Baye Keita also came off the bench to chip in four points. UNC Asheville was led by Jeron Lane, who came off the bench to score nine points, while both J.P. Primm and Quinard Jackson added eight each and Matt Dickey chipped in five points.
Kansas State defeated Southern Mississippi by a score of 70-64 in the second round and awaits the winner of this game in the third round. I'm sure there are a lot of Wildcats fans that are rooting for the Bulldogs right now.
