Plus, Syracuse needs volunteers and Butler announced Matt Howard is playing in NCAA Championship game.

The federal government  would like to fine Toyota $16.375 million because of the company's recent recalls. Toyota recalled over 2.3 million vehicles with a faulty accelerator pedals. The government plans on giving Toyota the largest civil fine allowed under the Tread Act after Toyota failed to notify the government when it learned vehicle problems were occurring worldwide. The fine, if imposed, would be the largest civil penalty the government has ever made on a car company. Toyota has two weeks to accept or fight this fine.

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."
