The Syracuse Orange have made it to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet Sixteen 24 times in program history. We mentioned the first two wins in the Regional semifinal last week as part of our look at first and second round games so let’s look at some of the other Sweet Sixteen memories.
Four times between 1977 and 1984, the Orange made the Sweet Sixteen but failed to advance but things got better after that
1987: Syracuse got 33 points from Rony Seikaly as they pushed past Florida 87-81. All of the Orange starters scored in double-figures as they got 87 without a single point off the bench.
