SALK LAKE CITY, UT -- When the Syracuse University Orange cruised through the first two games of the NCAA Tournament, it was like playing a couple of home games. HSBC Arena in Buffalo is just a short ride from Syracuse, and thousands of orange-clad fans were there to cheer on their team.
As the number one seed in the west, SU is playing Butler tonight in Salt Lake City. That poses a bigger challenge for SU fans to join their team. But CNYcentral's Alex Dunbar found that there still will be a significant contingent of orange fans in Utah.
As you'll see in this report the fans are coming from Central New York, and from the west coast.
