Syracuse bracketology: Another loss means Orange trending down to 9-seed

The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team dropped a frustrating game to fellow NCAA Tournament hopeful Clemson on Saturday, and as a result, many of us are probably getting a little less comfortable about the Orange’s place in the field.

Syracuse is currently in, mind you, but the loss dropped the Orange to 19-12 on the year and robbed them of a Quadrant I win. A loss to BC or Pitt in the second round of the ACC Tournament could suddenly have us sweating a bit on Selection Sunday if chaos breaks out during Championship Week.
