Could Syracuse basketball prove destined for another relatively flat home performance?

Syracuse basketball wrapped up 2019-20 at 18-14, and the Orange likely would have missed the Big Dance unless the ‘Cuse ran the table in the Atlantic Coast Conference post-season tournament.

That, of course, became a moot point, after all of college basketball in 2019-20 came to a halt in mid-March because of the novel coronavirus pandemic. One surprising component to the Orange’s most recent season is that the ‘Cuse delivered a somewhat pedestrian 11-7 mark inside the Carrier Dome.
