Syracuse Makes Claim for Tourney Spot [David Stefanini]

This from ESPN.com:

The victory snapped the Hoyas' 11-game winning streak and gave the Orange a strong claim for the postseason.

Georgetown (22-6, 12-3 Big East) had won 11 straight conference games for the first time in school history and had defeated Pittsburgh 61-53 Saturday to avenge a road loss to the Panthers in January and take sole possession of first place in the Big East.
Syracuse (21-8, 10-5 Big East) has won five straight since dropping four of five.

Comments:
To me, this puts Syracuse's destiny in their own hands. They have won five straight games during the most important part of the season, and tonight's 72-58 upset over #10 ranked Georgetown has culminated their push for the postseason. If they can keep up this wave of momentum they will certainly be playing in March.
