Following the Syracuse Orange’s embarrassing loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday, I thought about leading off Sunday morning with an article about “WHAT IT MEANS” for SU and their ability to make the NCAA Tournament this season.
It seemed inevitable that Syracuse was going to lose to Duke given the short turnaround trip to Durham on Monday night — especially given the Blue Devils’ sizeable talent advantage over SU (and most teams). A loss would’ve dropped the Orange to 11-6 overall and 2-2 in the ACC. No one expected us to be able to beat Duke going in, mind you.
