Bracketology – Syracuse Not Projected to Even Make the NIT
Syracuse basketball isn‚Äôt having its best season, to say the least. The Orange sit at just 14-12 with five games remaining. According to KenPom, they are expected to lose three of them, but it could very well be four or even five. It‚Äôs officially not a bold take to say SU will need to run…

ESPN’s Lunardi: SU Hoops Could Still Make Tournament
EDITOR’S NOTE: This article was published just 13 minutes before Syracuse University formally announced center Jesse Edwards’ season-ending wrist injury. The other day, we wrote that SU‚Äôs next four games were must-wins following the team‚Äôs destruction of Louisville last Saturday. Game number one occurred Tuesday, and the Orange labored to a 73-64 win in Chestnut…

What Syracuse Needs To Do To Make The Tournament
Let‚Äôs be honest here — things are bleak in Syracuse right now. The Orange are below .500 more than halfway through the season. This is just not the SU way. Jim Boeheim has created a winning culture where you expect to make the NCAA Tournament. Syracuse has made the tourney in four of the last…

A Step Back: How “Bad” is the ACC?
Let’s not sugar coat things. Everywhere you look, every game you watch and every show you listen to is telling you the ACC is having a “down year.” Usually, this is a narrative formed after a couple of bad non-conference losses from the higher-powered teams, and it sticks around until March. It happened in 2021…

Syracuse Gets Rewarded by Committee, Pulls Georgetown in NCAA Tournament
There’s been plenty of concern over Syracuse’s up-and-down season. The four blowout losses have been embarrassing to a program that has been one of the best in the sport’s history. But the NCAA Committee gave SU more credit than that, pitting them against 5-seed Georgetown in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Saturday at…

Who Would Syracuse Play in the NCAA Tournament?
Optimism is growing in Central New York that the Orange have done enough to lock up a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Two late regular season victories, a blowout over NC State, and a tightly-fought loss to the ACC’s top-seed Virginia, appears to have been enough. Plus, the dominos have been falling in SU’s direction.…

If Syracuse Can’t Beat NC State, It Doesn’t Deserve March Madness
In 2017, Syracuse beat three ranked teams from January 28th to February 22nd. This was before the dreaded NET system was put into place. But if I were to guess, the Orange picked up three quadrant one wins on their home floor down the stretch: FSU, Duke and Virginia. That Tyler Lydon, Andrew White and…

Don’t Look Now, Syracuse is Up to 2nd in “First Four Out”
Oh, the fun we will have. A rollercoaster season continues for Syracuse hoops. Just days ago an embarrassing loss left the Orange looking meek and feeble heading into March. If they couldn’t avoid getting lambasted by a mediocre Duke team, when in search of quality wins, what chance did they have at an NCAA Tournament…

A Slim Chance: Here Is How Syracuse Gets To The NCAA Tournament
*Records and predictions updated to reflect most recent games* Syracuse could make it to the NCAA Tournament. I know, I know, that sounds ridiculous and it probably is, but I‚Äôm not the only one who thinks it could happen. Just hear me out. SU is number 67 in the NET rankings right now and 68…

Way Too Early Bracketology Puts Syracuse as a 7-Seed
It’s not even Christmas yet, and the conference season is still a few weeks away. Trying to figure out where Syracuse will land in the 2019 NCAA Tournament is fairly absurd. But in looking at bracketology, it can give us a decent view of where the Orange compare to other power teams through the first…

Bracketologists are Split on Syracuse in NCAA Tournament
Syracuse has left itself no wiggle room after the loss to UNC in the ACC tournament. For every plus, there’s a minus. For every negative, there’s a positive. Losing to Boston College by 15 was horrid, but beating Clemson at home was huge. Thumping Wake Forest in Brooklyn was mandatory, but losing to the Heels…

What are bracketologists saying about SU’s tournament chances?
After Saturday‚Äôs huge win against Clemson, Syracuse was able to keep its NCAA Tournament hopes alive for at least another couple of days. The win fulfilled SU‚Äôs need for a marquee win (the Tigers were ranked 18th in the country after all) and made the Orange‚Äôs resume look a whole lot better than it would…

Bubble Watch: Syracuse first out in latest Bracketology
Syracuse basketball has once again found itself squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble. The Orange has two weeks to show why it is better than the other teams fighting for the final spots in the field of 68. With a new set of ‚Äúbracketology‚Äù predictions out Monday and so much at stake in the last…

Bubble Watch: SU’s Resume Compared to Others
I‚Äôve seen a lot of people comparing SU‚Äôs current resume to previous Syracuse resumes from the past couple years (myself included). However, that‚Äôs pretty trivial at the end of the day because every year is different. So let‚Äôs try something else. Let‚Äôs breakdown SU‚Äôs resume compared to other bubble teams because that‚Äôs really what matters…

In or Out? Where Do Bracketologists Have Syracuse For The NCAA Tournament?
Oh boy, here we go again. It‚Äôs not even February yet, but the bracket minds are already punching away and lining up this March‚Äôs field of 68. And just like the past couple of years, Syracuse is right in the thick of the controversy. With a 15-6 record, including a 4-4 mark in ACC play,…

How Much Is Syracuse Sweating Today?
About a year ago today, the Orange was huddled at the Melo Center feeling anxious about whether Greg Gumbel would call its name into the field of 68. However, after countless hours of nail biting and a leaked bracket, Syracuse booked its flight to St. Louis for the start of one of the most improbable…

Where Do The “Experts” Say Syracuse Stands?
By now, Syracuse has gotten comfortable playing on the bubble. When Syracuse’s season seemed to be over the Orange won five in a row. Once SU had beaten three top 10 teams, the Orange¬†lost¬†just enough to keep things interesting. That trend continued with another loss in the ACC Tournament to Miami Wednesday. Syracuse still hasn’t…

Tonight Isn’t The Be-All End-All For Syracuse’s Season
The last time Mike Krzyzewski lost a basketball game, Syracuse was out of the NCAA Tournament picture after a loss to Boston College, Barack Obama was President of the United States and the Atlanta Falcons were still laughing at the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Indians for blowing insurmountable championship leads. But 52 days and…
