CBS sports blogger looks back at the tournament. Good choice on #1.
"1. Syracuse 64, Wisconsin 63. Surprised? It has to be this one. The best Sweet 16 game, the best second-weekend game, the best game we had. Came down to the final possession, was highly competitive and Could've been either team that won. You think the Badgers are boring? How's 14 3-pointers sound to you? Then, to make 14 3s and lose? Ironically, it was Jordan Taylor missed 3-pointer on a bad/ugly play that ruined Wisconsin's chances at the upset. But the game only had 12 turnovers, 25 fouls, and the teams were 19-of-36 from deep. Norfolk State over Missouri was the bigger headline, but wire to wire, this was the better-played game with more on the line and better players on the floor. It won't be what we remember 2011-12 Syracuse by, but the Orange's final win was one of the most dramatic, uncertain ones during its most dramatic, uncertain season in program history."

Sucks balls that Bucky lost that game. But man, was it a good one.
