The Syracuse Orange’s 20-point loss to the Louisville Cardinals on Sunday provides no favors in terms of SU’s NCAA Tournament resume. But we’ll see if falling to a top-10 team on the road really hurts them at all, either. The Orange were expected to lose, and they did. Especially on the road, it doesn’t erase the Duke victory overnight.
Looking around the rest of the bubble too, it’s not as if every team has been doing favors for themselves, either. While Bracket Matrix hasn’t updated since Sunday morning, there’s still plenty to glean from Syracuse’s current standing there, plus who’s directly above and below them.
