Could anyone have predicted the type of success this year would provide for Syracuse basketball? I certainly couldn’t. Although I had high hopes going into the season, there’s absolutely no way I expected both the men’s and women’s team to make a Final Four.
First let’s discuss the men. Talk about a rollercoaster! From the early season 6-0 start and triumph over Texas A&M in the B4A, to the next 11 game rocky stretch where the Orange went 4-7, to winning eight of nine, then dropping five of six, to finally winning four straight in the NCAA tournament, this team had it’s ups and downs.
