Syracuse basketball has a half-dozen contests left in its 2020-21 regular season, unless some games that previously got postponed due to Covid-19 protocols are made up.

The Orange (11-6, 5-5) hosts Boston College this Saturday afternoon. The ‘Cuse has two additional home affairs versus Notre Dame and North Carolina, as well as road clashes against Louisville, Duke and Georgia Tech.

The Orange’s victory at N.C. State earlier this week is a positive step forward, although the ‘Cuse is still without a quadrant-one success, according to the team’s NET rankings profile.
