Syracuse Basketball: Women’s Hoops Gets No Respect
Despite a 12-4 record, with a blowout win over #12 Duke, the Syracuse basketball women’s team remains on the outside of the top 25 AP rankings.
It’s like a Rodney Dangerfield stand-up routine. The Syracuse basketball women’s team continually gets no respect and are kept out of the AP top-25. Even after absolutely destroying Duke by 26 points, it wasn’t enough to vault them into the top 25. What gives?
Yes, they lost to North Carolina a game later, but that was after the weekly poll came out that still had Syracuse on the outside looking in. Sorry, but that’s just not right. This team deserves to be ranked in the top 25 even now, and assuredly after the Duke game.
