Syracuse Basketball: ESPN’s Jay Bilas provides predictions for Orange

As the Syracuse basketball team arrives at the onset of its 2019-20 campaign, many of the sport’s pundits are unveiling their preseason projections. One of the latest to do so is ESPN analyst Jay Bilas, who for my money is the absolute best in the business.

On Tuesday, he published his “Bilas Index,” which ranks the premier 68 crews throughout the country. The Orange, fittingly, checks in at No. 56. This is an appropriate position, by my estimation, given that the ‘Cuse brings back just a sole starter from a stanza ago and features a slightly young roster.
