Syracuse basketball is a top-25 team to culminate the 2020-21 campaign, according to the final Coaches poll released after Baylor defeated Gonzaga to capture this season’s Big Dance.

The Orange, which ended at 18-10, landed at No. 25 in the last Coaches poll of 2020-21, and that’s pretty cool given that the ‘Cuse hasn’t found itself in the national rankings all that much in recent years.

After picking up two huge home wins over North Carolina and Clemson at the beginning of March, Syracuse basketball got back into the NCAA Tournament conversation for an at-large invite.
