The Syracuse Orange have a herculean task ahead of them if they have any chance of making the NCAA Tournament. Yesterday, we went through the things that would need to happen, but we’re still stuck with the same SU team, flaws and all.
Unless... Rico returns.
You all remember Rico, Tyler Lydon’s mustache. His existence was the best part of last season, until the best part of last season (the Final Four).
But it wasn’t just for aesthetics. Rico was also a bit of a good luck charm for the Orange. His appearance last year coincided with some wins, then one loss (to Louisville) and Lydon got rid of it.
