T-4. 49, Syracuse (101) vs. Brown (52), March 14, 1986

Facing a Brown program making its first appearance in the tournament since the inaugural 1939 edition, second-seeded Syracuse rode a 31-4 run in the first half to demolish the Ivy League squad 101-52. Pearl Washington had a game-high 21 points while Rony Seikaly had 12 points, seven rebounds and five blocks for an Orange team that dominated the glass with 63 rebounds – the most in program history in a tourney game. Wendell Alexis and Rodney Walker each had nine rebounds as Syracuse became the first team in a dozen years to have at least five players grab seven or more rebounds in a tournament game. There have only been four tourney games since then in which a team had at least five players get at least seven boards. Two days after this thrashing, however, Syracuse came crashing back down to earth with a 97-85 loss to seventh-seeded Navy with future No. 1 NBA Draft pick David Robinson leading the way with 35 points, 11 rebounds and seven blocks.
