Syracuse basketball is one of nine ACC teams that make the latest mock field of 68 from ESPN’s resident bracketologist, Joe Lunardi.
Syracuse basketball players are soon returning to the Hill, Jim Boeheim is 100 percent coaching this upcoming term, and the Orange will likely reside on the proverbial March Madness bubble throughout 2020-21.
On the plus side, the ‘Cuse returns four starters from a season ago, its relatively inexperienced roster is a year older, and Syracuse possesses a strong 2020 recruiting class.
In the negative department, former star forward Elijah Hughes, who led the Atlantic Coast Conference in scoring during the last stanza, has opted to forgo his remaining eligibility to turn pro.
