The Mustangs were the last team the Orange defeated this season, but their high-powered offense looks to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive. https://www.si.com/college/syracuse/basketball/syracuse-acc-tournament-smu-01kk9eff2dn410 Mar 2026 13:13 +0000at://did:plc:s5vbvxlrjsvbcdyw7unmovxk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgph62tfpi2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/thejuiceonline.bsky.social/post/3mgkjdp3ugp2dThe Orange lost their regular season finale, making it five losses in a row.

Arguably their two best long range shooters, Minor and Indrusaitis, have missed all eight of their tries from deep.07 Mar 2026 22:17 +0000at://did:plc:s5vbvxlrjsvbcdyw7unmovxk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgiu6n2cvb2chttps://bsky.app/profile/thejuiceonline.bsky.social/post/3mgitvq72my2dWake trails Cal at half, 37-29.

Pitt normally plays six guys meaningful minutes, so not a major issue barring foul trouble.07 Mar 2026 20:58 +0000at://did:plc:s5vbvxlrjsvbcdyw7unmovxk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgipqraiyu2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/thejuiceonline.bsky.social/post/3mgign4flqt2oThis is a very good destination for Gerry McNamara this offseason.

Get up to speed on a game that likely will have meaning for both teams with our preview: https://www.si.com/college/syracuse/basketball/syracuse-closes-at-home-pittsburgh-01kjz47ckqxn06 Mar 2026 20:26 +0000at://did:plc:s5vbvxlrjsvbcdyw7unmovxk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgg5j6wyea27https://bsky.app/profile/thejuiceonline.bsky.social/post/3mg7eqzesel2uThe difference in ball movement between the two teams is striking. Louisville moves the ball quickly with the players knowing they will get it back and get shot attempts. Syracuse is slow, unsure, and some players seem more invested in themselves than the team.04 Mar 2026 03:47 +0000at://did:plc:s5vbvxlrjsvbcdyw7unmovxk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg7eqzesel2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/thejuiceonline.bsky.social/post/3mg7dtbnc6p2uWhite crashing the offensive glass as soon as he gets in the game.

White getting banged up and leaving the game while being the leading scorer for SU is the cherry on top.04 Mar 2026 02:59 +0000at://did:plc:s5vbvxlrjsvbcdyw7unmovxk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg7c2skpeu2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/thejuiceonline.bsky.social/post/3mg7bsmrciy2kOrange have made just 2-of-13 shots as the first half is winding down.04 Mar 2026 02:54 +0000at://did:plc:s5vbvxlrjsvbcdyw7unmovxk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg7bsmrciy2khttps://bsky.app/profile/thejuiceonline.bsky.social/post/3mg7bcfbu7r24Orange are 6-of-21 with seven turnovers.04 Mar 2026 02:45 +0000at://did:plc:s5vbvxlrjsvbcdyw7unmovxk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg7bcfbu7r24https://bsky.app/profile/thejuiceonline.bsky.social/post/3mg7aro225c27Sadiq White is the only SU player to make a field goal in over eight minutes.04 Mar 2026 02:36 +0000at://did:plc:s5vbvxlrjsvbcdyw7unmovxk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg7aro225c27https://bsky.app/profile/thejuiceonline.bsky.social/post/3mg7amsbohz2oFar too many possessions ending in shots late in the clock.

It'll be an uphill battle for the Orange, as our @dsafetyguy.bsky.social explains. https://www.si.com/college/syracuse/basketball/syracuse-last-road-trip-at-louisville-01kjqx99dxyy03 Mar 2026 17:27 +0000at://did:plc:s5vbvxlrjsvbcdyw7unmovxk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg6c43e2ip2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/thejuiceonline.bsky.social/post/3mffgqz7fej27Just a lost season. There was more reason for hope after this Orange team lost three straight games in Las Vegas before Thanksgiving than there has been at any point since ACC play began.

Everything is labored, most things are reliant on 1-on-1 play. It's just not a good way to play, even with a lot of offensive talent.21 Feb 2026 19:47 +0000at://did:plc:s5vbvxlrjsvbcdyw7unmovxk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfffbayf6i2x
