After a reporter asked Syracuse guards Michael Gbinije and Trevor Cooney about the criticism of Syracuse’s inclusion in the NCAA Tournament, head coach Jim Boeheim answered before his players could.

“Nobody that said we didn’t deserve in knows anything about basketball,” Boeheim said, “so we didn’t think about it. They were just doing it to be cute. We don’t need to react to those things and (Gbinije and Cooney) don’t listen to that stuff.”

Check out the rest of what Boeheim, Cooney and Gbinije said after 10th-seeded Syracuse’s 70-51 drubbing of seventh-seeded Dayton.
