The Syracuse basketball women’s squad is receiving some nice praise from a national writer.

The Syracuse basketball women’s team, set to face tough in-state foe Stony Brook on Sunday, has landed in the pre-season top-25 power rankings ahead of the 2020-21 stanza from CBS Sports writer Matt Ward.

He places the Orange at No. 19. Other Atlantic Coast Conference groups in Ward’s ratings are No. 3 Louisville, No. 9 N.C. State, No. 16 Notre Dame and No. 24 North Carolina.

Ward had this to say about the ‘Cuse in his write-up within the power-rankings piece.
