Even with back-to-back double-digit losses to #7 Notre Dame and Georgia Tech, it’s hard to not take a brief moment to commend the Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team (13-6, 4-4) for what the program has done in year one of the Felisha Legette-Jack era.
That begins with the announcement that Syracuse was considered a “Next Four Out” team in an earlier edition of ESPN’s latest bracket projection. The Georgia Tech loss this past week has dropped the Orange out of the most updated version. With that said, considering the Orange’s lack of continuity and reliance on transfers from other programs heading into this season, it’s a remarkable step in the right direction for a team missing one in 2021-2022.
