BUFFALO, N.Y. -- It wasnt supposed to end this way for senior C.J. Fair and Syracuse. After starting the season with 25 straight wins and being ranked No. 1 for three weeks, the faltering Orange lost 55-53 to pesky Dayton on Saturday night in the third round of the NCAA tournament, their dreams of a second straight trip to the Final Four dashed by too many misses from 3-point range and a team that refused to cave at the end. "Theyre a small team, but theyre scrappy," Fair said. "Every time we had the ball, they got a hand in there. They set the tone early. We were playing catch-up the whole game." The third-seeded Orange (28-6), who finished second in their first year in the Atlantic Coast Conference, struggled all game against the swarming Dayton defence. Syracuse led only twice in the second half, falling behind for good after two free throws by Devin Oliver gave Dayton a 41-40 lead with 6:18 to play. Syracuse missed all 10 attempts from beyond the arc, while the Flyers hit seven times from long range. It was the first time in 665 games that Syracuse failed to make a 3. "Its hard to win making layups," Orange coach Jim Boeheim said. "At some point in time, you need to knock something down from the perimeter, and we didnt. It was just not a good offensive game for us. If the other team makes five or six 3s and you make five or six layups, youre six points down. That was what I saw out there tonight." Syracuse star freshman point guard Tyler Ennis was open at the top of the key with 2 seconds left and the Flyers holding a two-point lead. When Ennis attempt to win the game clanged harmlessly off the rim, Dayton had a victory it had been chasing for three decades. "We have a good program with great tradition," coach Archie Miller said after his 11th-seeded Flyers reached the Sweet 16 for the first time in 30 years. "Now, we have the ability to build, and thats what its all about." Ennis had beaten Pittsburgh last month with a 40-foot shot at the buzzer, so he had the confidence to try again, even though Syracuse had missed nine attempts from behind the arc. "The last shot was a great shot. It was the right play," Boeheim said. "A chance to win the game. You dont have enough time to get to the basket. I have no problem with that shot." Neither did the 35-year-old Miller, though he probably aged just a little bit while the ball was in the air. "That thing was on line and he went for the win," Miller said. "The thing that went through my head was the game at Pitt, when I saw that highlight 7,000 times. I thought he was going to go to the basket. When I saw him raise up, I didnt feel good about it. But Buffalos been good to us these last couple of days on the buzzer shots." It sure has. Vee Sanfords basket with 3.8 seconds left was the margin of victory in Daytons one-point win over in-state rival Ohio State on Thursday. After that game, the Dayton Daily News mocked Buckeyes fans who refer to "The Ohio State University" with a headline that read: "THE University of Dayton." Dayton (25-10) now advances to the South Regional semifinals next week against No. 2 seed Kansas or 10th-seeded Stanford. Syracuse was in position to pull this one out, but Ennis also missed a foul-line jumper with 8 seconds left. He was down in the subdued locker room, with red faces all around, but confident he had made the right decision as he had so many times in a standout season. "Its hard to digest any loss," said Ennis, who finished with 19 points on 7-of-21 shooting. "They did a good job defensively, and the looks we did get we didnt capitalize." Dyshawn Pierre scored 14 points and Jordan Sibert, held scoreless in the first half, hit a key 3-pointer with 47.7 seconds for Dayton. Sibert finished with 10 points and Sanford had eight, but Sibert nearly gave it away when he stepped out of bounds while the Orange pressured him in the corner with 14 seconds left. After Ennis settled for a jumper from the foul line that missed, instead of driving the lane as he had all night, Syracuse fouled Pierre and he made one free throw, giving the Orange one more golden opportunity that they didnt take advantage of. Fair had 14 points on 4-of-14 shooting and 10 rebounds in his final game for the Orange. Jerami Grant had just four points and attempted only three shots before fouling out late. Trevor Cooney, who broke out of a long slump with four 3-pointers in the second round against Western Michigan, had two points and missed all four shots he took from behind the arc. "When you make shots, you win. When you dont make shots, you lose in close games," Boeheim said. "Early in the year, we made shots." Chico Salmon Indians Jersey .

San Francisco selected Kilgore in the fifth round of the 2011 draft out of Appalachian State. He has played in 33 regular-season games, plus all six playoff games the last two seasons.1) Blades of Steel: This game was far inferior to its NES counterpart and the only time the graphics are good is after you score a goal. 2) WWF Superstars 2: This game is a little bit better than the original, but still not incredibly impressive. Here is a classic match-up between The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan: 3) Golf: The game known simply as “Golf”, which would later become “Mario Golf”. Not much to say other than that this game was awesome. 4) Nintendo Baseball: I remember playing this game frequently and because of how slowly the ball moved, it would take about 90 minutes to complete nine innings. 5) NBA Jam Tournament Edition: The graphics for Game Boy continued to improve, but playing a basketball game between the Celtics and the Lakers with black and white jerseys completely diminished the experience. 6) Madden 96: Just like in the present day, Madden football was the class of the NFL games for the Game Boy. The biggest issue with this game is that they didnt yet have the NFL license, so no team logos or player names. 7) Riddick Bowe Boxing: Punch Out! never came out for Game Boy, so we had Riddick Bowe boxing, which was actually pretty violent. 8) Pit Fighter: In the days before mainstream Mixed Martial Arts, there was Pit Fighter, an uber-violent game that came out in the arcade and was ported to Game Boy. 9) Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball: This was THE baseball game for Game Boy. Had great graphics and gameplay and the most popular spokesperson in baseball. 10) Tecmo Bowl: Nowhere near as good as the NES version, but still fun, especially with the bodies inexplicably flying everywhere. 11) Tennis: In my opinion, the most fun sports game for Game Boy. Mario was the line judge and he made sure the game was played fairly. 12) FIFA: Road to the World Cup: This game was excellent for its time and had great graphics with fast gameplay. 13) Jordan vs Bird: This game was absolutely awful.dddddddddddd Just the worst. 14) Bo Jackson Hit and Run: This game contained both a baseball game and football game. How clever! The problem is that the baseball game was good and the football game may have been the worst game ever. 15) NBA Live 96: Every time someone dribbles the ball, the game makes an offensive noise. 16) Nintendo World Cup: They took River City Ransom and made it into a soccer game. I approve! 17) PGA Tour 96: Someone should show this to Brad Faxon. I bet that hed feel incredibly old. 18) Skate or Die – Bad ‘N Rad: This game was a total cult classic among skateboarders and non-skateboarders alike. 19) Super RC Pro Am: If you could get past the horrible braking noise, this game was quite enjoyable. 20) WCW Main Event: Like WCW itself, this game was much inferior to the WWF product. 21) George Foremans KO Boxing: This game has been considered one of the worst fighting games ever, but it was tolerable. Riddick Bowe Boxing was better. Although its an improvement over Foreman for Real, which was hysterically bad (see below). 22) Bases Loaded: This was another really good baseball game, especially considering how early into Game Boys existence it came to be. 23) Itchy & Scratchy in Miniature Golf Madness: This is the most insane golf game ever made. You play as Scratchy and try to avoid violent Itchy characters while golfing to nowhere in particular. 24) Jimmy Connors Tennis: Another great tennis game for Game Boy. The Game Boy could have been much more successful if it only released tennis games. 25) Jeopardy Sports Edition: This game features really hard sports questions with not a lot of time to answer them. Bonus) NHL 96: They tried to make this as good as the Sega Genesis versions, but werent able to capture the magic. Happy Anniversary Game Boy!
