Past Syracuse basketball players took to twitter after we learned the Orange were heading to Houston to play in the Final Four.
Former Syracuse Orange players Rakeem Christmas, C.J. Fair and Tyler Ennis were in Chicago for the Midwest Regional and joined the Orange on the court after it defeated Virginia to advance to its most unlikely Final Four. See what other erstwhile Syracuse players had to say below.
Proud of these guys : @sammaller pic.twitter.com/L2xCKUdS0M
