Syracuse Basketball Gets Seven Seed in ACC Tournament
Syracuse basketball has earned the seven seed in the ACC Tournament as a result of Saturday's results. While the Orange was idle, Wake Forest and Pittsburgh both held serve at home, which means SU gets the seven. That game will tip on Wednesday, March 13th at 7:00 p.m. Eastern and will be broadcast on ESPN2.
As far as who Syracuse's opponent will be, there are two potential options. The Orange will face either NC State or Louisville, as those two will square off Tuesday. The winner advances to face Syracuse in the second round. The Orange swept both the Wolfpack and Cardinals this season. Syracuse beat NC State 77-65 in the Dome and 87-83 on the road, while knocking off Louisville 94-92 at home and 82-76 at the KFC Yum Center.
Should Syracuse win its first game, the Orange will advance to face Duke in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals. This as a result of North Carolina's win over the Blue Devils on Saturday, giving the Tar Heels the regular season title and top overall seed. Syracuse faced Duke only once this season, falling 86-66 at Cameron Indoor. A win over Duke would mean a semifinals matchup with Virginia if seeding holds.
Syracuse finished the regular season 20-11 (11-9), but has work to do if it wants a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
