Syracuse Chances of Getting Into the Tournament

[Larry]

Syracuse's chances of getting into the tournament vary from as high as 8th or 9th at large to as low as 15th or 16 th at large. It all depends on the outcome of games to be played by other teams and the Colgate game. For example, if Hopkins defeats Maryland and Rutgers loses, Syracuse's chances improve significantly. Then of course there is the Big-10 tournament! The chances are based on RPI, SOS and Quality Win Rankings and Syracuse's numbers will swing in the next week. Currently, Syracuse is the 12th at-large. If Syracuse defeats Colgate, they move to 9th at-large. If they lose to Colgate, they drop to 14th. Also consider that if the favorites for AQ win ( Denver, Loyola, Maryland or Hopkins and Yale (possibly Cornell) , there are more at-large invites available.

For over two decades, SU was a lock for the Final 4. Then we wondered whether they could make the Final 4. Now we wonder whether they’ll make the tourney.

For over 2 decades the only thing that mattered was winning the tournament.

It still is the only thing that matters.
