No. 3 Syracuse (25-9, 11-5 Atlantic Coast) was upset in the NCAA tournament Round of 32 by No. 6 South Dakota State (28-6, 15-1 Summit), 75-64. The loss possibly marked the end of the careers of both star guard Tiana Mangakahia and forward Miranda Drummond.

Listen to what beat writers had to say after the game.
