Plus, former Sex Pistols manager dies at 64 and Butler extends head coach Brad Stevens's contract.

Syracuse second baseman Pete Orr laced a game-winning single with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, giving the Chiefs an 8-7 win over Lehigh Valley in the season opener, according to the syracuse.com. The Iron Pigs jumped out to a 7-6 lead in the top half of the frame when Rich Thompson plated ex-Yankee Cody Ransom.

A second half surge was not enough to propel Syracuse past Butler and to its first regional final since 2003.

 It was a season that transcended expectations.

Syracuse (30-4) travels to Salt Lake City for its Sweet Sixteen matchup with Butler (30-4). Tip-off is 7:07 p.m. EST.

Syracuse starting forward Rick Jackson getting into foul trouble was the best thing to happen to Syracuse on Sunday afternoon.

With two hands tied behind their backs (the team's other starting forward Arinze Onuaku was inactive with a leg injury), the Orange took a bat to Gonzaga’s pumpkin chariot, and put up 87 points on the Cinderella-turned-NCAA-regular.

"This is as well as we've played all year," said Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim. "It was a tremendous performance."
