If you’ve been a follower of The Official Jim Boeheim Jacket Toss Tracker™ then you know the impact of a perfectly-timed toss on the results of a Syracuse Orange men’s basketball game. In the three seasons that we followed the statistics Syracuse was 17-5 in games with a jacket toss and only suffered one loss when they were leading when the jacket toss occurred.
With the Orange sitting at a record of 5-5 heading into this weekend’s game with Lehigh we decided to look at the five losses to determine when a jacket toss could have changed the outcome of the game.
