The Syracuse Orange had the opportunity to cement their spot in the ACC Tournament last week and refused to do so. They dropped a road game against the might North Carolina Tar Heels and then fell to the not-quite-as-mighty Florida State Seminoles over the weekend.
As such, SU enters the ACC Tournament with a 19-12 (9-9) record where they'll face another bubble team, the Pittsburgh Panthers, in what could be a kind-of "play-in before the play-in," Or, perhaps the Orange have done enough in the eyes on the committee already to sneak into one of those finals spots.
