The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team moved up one spot in the latest AP Poll, to number 15; the Orange started the season 2-0, with wins over Eastern Washington and Morehead State. Syracuse didn’t look its best in their most recent win, but the voters thought they were worthy of a small promotion.
Syracuse is one of seven ACC teams to find themselves in this week’s AP Top 25 Poll. Four of those seven ACC teams rank ahead of the Orange, and they are Duke (1), Virginia (4), North Carolina (7), and Florida State (14). The two teams who sit below Syracuse are Virginia Tech (16), and Clemson (19).
