The Syracuse Orange women’s basketball season came to an end with an 88-69 loss to the Clemson Tigers on Wednesday afternoon in the first round of the ACC Tournament in Greensboro.
The loss marked the end of an 11-18 that was always going to be difficult after the mass exodus of players from last year’s team because of poor treatment from former head coach Quentin Hillsman.
Vonn Read came in on an acting basis and sandwiched a six-game winning streak around a disappointing start and frustrating finish to the season. Despite optimism heading into January, the Orange did not have the depth or size to legitimately compete in the ACC.
