Michigan Misses All The Free Throws, Wins Ugly Against Syracuse Anyway
A wire-to-wire (foul-fest, timeout-filled, commercial-break heavy) battle ended in Jim Boeheim making a number of very Jim Boeheim faces and a relatively easy call for the refs: Jordan Morgan taking a charge from Brandon Triche with 20 seconds left, which, in hindsight, finished off Syracuse.

A particularly grateful hat-tip to Drew C., who let us embed his color-coded map of the places Wichita State, Syracuse, Louisville and Michigan's players went to high school.
