Clear-cut Syracuse basketball rival is anything but definitive these days

Syracuse basketball is in a weird place these days as far as a chief rival is concerned.

Earlier this week, we debated a topic posed by FOX College Hoops as it pertains to Syracuse basketball. Namely, what’s preferred between beating a rival on an annual basis or winning consecutive national championships.

My colleagues at Inside The Loud House and I would absolutely vote in favor of titles over rivals, but that discussion brought up another interesting question to consider.

Does the Orange really even have a pronounced rival as things currently stand?
