Syracuse loves to pull for the underdog.
St. Thomas Aquinas College came to Lemoyne as a lower seed and still took the chip. We heard they lost in the NCAA Div. II Elite 8 this week.

St. Rose’s Tyler Sayre
The NCAA Div. II East Regional held at Lemoyne for the past few days has featured some spectacular basketball games. We are not sure if it was underappreciated, but we will say that more promotion was needed. It was a great venue for kids, families, fans and coaches. The good news is this: you still have a chance to check it out.
Tonight St. Thomas Aquinas College will do battle with College of St. Rose to determine the championship of the East Region. One key match up will be between Justin Reyes and Tyler Sayre. At some point these two MVP’s for their respective clubs will meet either in the paint or on the wing.
