Of course, Syracuse basketball has yet to suit up for an actual game, but the pre-season KenPom ranking for the Orange is solid.
Ken Pomeroy is well-respected in collegiate hoops for his advanced data and statistical analyses, so his placement of Syracuse basketball in his pre-season top 30 is definitely exciting.
Yes, the Orange and every other Division I team out there still have a few more weeks before commencing their 2020-21 campaigns amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, so this pre-season KenPom rating and every other pre-season ranking out there on the ‘Cuse have to get taken with a grain of salt.
