Following its home-finale setback to North Carolina, Syracuse basketball has a pair of road contests to conclude its 2019-20 regular stanza, commencing with a trip to Boston College.
The universal consensus is that the Orange (16-13, 9-9), currently in a five-way tie for fifth place in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings, will have to capture the league tournament to receive an invite to March Madness.
That’s a tall task and a remote outcome, but the 2019-20 term for the ‘Cuse isn’t all lost.
Given that Syracuse has no seniors on its roster, and it’s certainly possible that the entire line-up will return for 2020-21, with the exception of redshirt junior forward Elijah Hughes, the remainder of the present campaign provides an opportunity for Orange players to work on their game and inject some positivity into the team heading into next season.
