After yesterday’s thrilling senior day victory over Georgia Tech, many thought Syracuse would be firmly “in” as it relates to earning an at-large bid in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. As it turns out, Syracuse isn’t out of the woods just yet. There’s work to be done.
As it stands today Syracuse has an RPI ranking of 76, a road win-loss record of 2-8 and three sub-100 RPI losses. All of those things are working against Syracuse right now.
On the flip side, Syracuse has three wins over top-15 RPI teams and six wins over the top 50.
