Syracuse basketball will have more challenges from the Atlantic Coast Conference in the next campaign.
Assuming that Syracuse basketball plays a 2020-21 term, because of all the uncertainty around the novel coronavirus pandemic, it’s a huge question mark whether the Orange will improve, or regress, from a stanza ago.
The ‘Cuse wrapped up 2019-20 at a modest 18-14, although it did end on a high note when it crushed North Carolina in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.
But with former star forward Elijah Hughes gone, and the eligibility of Illinois transfer Alan Griffin, a sophomore wing, for this fall ambiguous for now, it’s entirely possible that Syracuse will yet again struggle to stay in the Big Dance conversation.
