The Syracuse basketball team doesn’t want to listen, the fans don’t want to hear it, but it’s the truth. The last five regular-season games for the Orange are absolutely meaningless.
On Wednesday night at the KFC Yum! Center the last hope for Syracuse to enter the NCAA Tournament via the traditional path died courtesy of the Louisville Cardinals.
There’s no other way to slice it, the Orange blew a golden opportunity to snag its best win of the 2019-20 campaign. Instead, they witnessed its biggest loss of the season in a 24-point drubbing.
Now the Orange are a paltry 14-12 and a woeful 7-8 in ACC play so far this season.
