The Syracuse Orange basketball team ended the season on a sour note losing in the first round of the NCAA tournament. On the bright side, they did comfortably make it into the tournament, earning an eight seed.
Here's some team level numbers to remember the year by:
Syracuse was 18-11 in games Frank Howard played. 2-3 in games he did not.
Syracuse was 5-1 in games that Marek Dolezaj started. 15-13 in games he did not. Four of his starts were ACC games.
The Orange were 3-8 versus AP Top 25 teams. The 11 games against ranked teams ties the school record set in 2005-06 and again 2015-16.
