Syracuse, N.Y. — Conference championship week is officially here. That means power conference teams are trying to add the final lines on their postseason resumes and bubble teams must be wary of bid thieves, the Cinderellas that shock the world and earn entry into the NCAA Tournament when their resume normally wouldn't be worthy of conversation.
Syracuse's season-ending win over Clemson got it back into the bubble conversation and, depending on who you listen to, potentially back among the teams that would currently crack the NCAA Tournament's field of 68.
Syracuse controls its own destiny although its unclear whether that destiny requires it to earn one, two, or three wins at the ACC Tournament in order to feel good about its chances.
