Syracuse basketball didn’t make the cut when noted analyst Dick Vitale recently unveiled his pre-season top 40.

Once again, Syracuse basketball is flying under the radar screen as another campaign inches closer and head coach Jim Boeheim prepares his players for his 45th stanza at the helm of the Orange.

Boeheim, without question, has endured some sub-par regular seasons since the ‘Cuse joined the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2013-14. A term ago, Syracuse basketball likely would have missed the Big Dance, before March Madness got canceled due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
