After Syracuse basketball pulled off a monstrous 72-70 victory against bruising North Carolina on Monday night in Central New York, junior shooting guard Buddy Boeheim said that the Orange still has work to do if it wants to re-enter the conversation for an invite to the 2021 NCAA Tournament.

I agree with Boeheim, although the ‘Cuse triumph against the Tar Heels cannot be discounted. ESPN’s resident bracketologist, Joe Lunardi, updated his mock field of 68 on March 2, and he now has the Orange (14-8, 8-7) in his next four out category, along with Saint Louis, SMU and Memphis.
