The Syracuse Orange is a long shot to make the NCAA Tournament with 16 wins and just three regular season games to play. The Orange will likely need to win at least two out of the last three games and get deep into the ACC Tournament to earn an at-large bid. After a huge win over #22 NC State, the Orange blew the opportunity to strengthen their chances by losing their last two games. On Wednesday night, the Orange were blasted by Clemson on the road, 91-73. Judah Mintz led the Orange with 23 points, including a season-best four 3pt field goals. Jesse Edwards added a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. Syracuse was dominated on the glass, 38-28, by the Tigers.
