Maybe we should listen to the Bracket Experts, Because

[NKR1978]

In the last month we have beaten a winless Bc team, and a bad Nc State at home, thats it.

What have the rest of the teams around us done?

 

[HakAttack]

This is from Palm's Bracketology:

"The Orange have lost three out of four going into this game, although the worst of those losses was to Pittsburgh at home. Syracuse has a typical bubble-team profile: a few good wins, a few bad losses, and a bad record against the better competition it has faced. Florida State doesn't really qualify as better competition, but a loss wouldn't be the end. Syracuse will enter the ACC tournament on the bubble either way"

I don't see how anyone could say we're solidly in after today's loss.

What have the rest of the teams around us done?

Most of them don't have 3 bad losses on their resume.

 

[OrangeDW]

Amazing that St. Bonaventure is proving to be one of our best wins. Never would've thought that at the time.

What's the 3rd bad loss.

Clemson and Wisconsin r not bad losses.

Clemson at home is a bad loss.

I don't think we're solidly in, but it isn't quite as dire as some are making it. It's been a bad stretch, no one can deny that, but the other bubble teams are pretty s***** too.

If we end up having to play Pitt on Wednesday then I'll say we pretty much have no chance

 

[CuseHulk]

Clemson at home is a bad loss.

With Hopkins as HC. Look at Clemsons overall record.

 

[OrangeDW]

What's the 3rd bad loss.

Maybe not by the selection committee definition, but by Syracuse fan expectations those losses were horrible.

Hard to beat a team three times in a row. I don't like our chances against Pitt, but won't shut the door either.

With or luck we will get Pitt, and we all know what happens when we see Pitt.

 

[OrangeDW]

With Hopkins as HC. Look at Clemsons overall record.

17-13. Wow. What a squad.

You're cool with losing to mediocre teams at home, when we had the game won. Most of us aren't. That loss was ridiculous and horrible.

 

[Briancuse]

With Hopkins as HC. Look at Clemsons overall record.

Clemson is barely above 500,they had that nice stretch when they beat some good teams, but overall they are pretty bad.

 

[We Are Syracuse]

Wont we have to play on Tuesday verse BC? VT will beat Miami IMO

 

[Knicks411]

Wont we have to play on Tuesday verse BC? VT will beat Miami IMO

No way we play on Tuesday. We're in the 8-9 game no matter what

 

[Briancuse]

What have the rest of the teams around us done?

Not lost to St Johns, Gtown and Clemson.

 

[We Are Syracuse]

No way we play on Tuesday. We're in the 8-9 game no matter what

So itll be Wednesday verse Pitt? Winner of that is in, if the loser is Syracuse, we are 100000000% out. YUUUUUCK

 

[Briancuse]

If Va tech wins, we finish 10th.

If Virginia Tech beats Miami, we get Pitt. If Miami wins, it's Va Tech.

 

[NKR1978]

Not lost to St Johns, Gtown and Clemson.

This doesn't make sense. Those losses were already considered by the bracket projections.

Would love to see the actual numbers on this.

 

[Briancuse]

Now factor in the loss today, and the fact we could finish 10th place in the conference. Lets be honest, since beating Notre Dame in Jan, what have we done to be an Ncaa tournament team?

 

[OrangeDW]

If Virginia Tech beats Miami, we get Pitt. If Miami wins, it's Va Tech.

UGH. We were extremely lucky to beat VT. Took them completely choking and Gbinije and Malachi making some really tough jumpers at the end for us to comeback and win it at home.

And we all know about Pitt.

Not feeling good at all.

 

[CuseHulk]

If Va tech wins, we finish 10th.

Wrong.
