Can the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team have a bounce-back year? That’s the question on everyone’s mind as the Orange are set to begin their season shortly.
On the one hand, although MBB underwhelmed relative to their 2020-2021 season, the team did have a competitive season. In the ACC Tournament, Syracuse dominated Florida State before falling just short against Duke. In a competitive conference, the Orange played close games against Miami (twice), North Carolina, and Virginia. Against the ACC last season, Syracuse finished in the middle of the pack (9-11 versus the ACC; 9th in the conference).
