The numbers say Syracuse is a top-10 team with the best strength of schedule and solid work against the top 10. The guess here is the Orange gets a first-round home game if they can go 2-1 or better the rest of the way.

A lot of dangerous teams this year. Should be an interesting tournament. SU needs to win Friday.
