Syracuse enters its final regular season contest on Saturday at 15-15 on the season. If the Orange lose to Pittsburgh, this team will join just five other teams in 125 years of program history with a losing record.  The most recent losing season came last season when the Orange finished 14-19. Before the 2024-2025 season, the Orange were 16-17 in the 2021-2022 season under Jim Boeheim. Before 2022, the Orange had not had a losing season since 1969. 

The Tuesday night loss guarantees the Orange can finish no higher than the 12th seed in the final ACC regular season standings. Virginia Tech defeated Boston College 72-63, giving the Hokies their eighth conference win of the season. Syracuse has just six conference wins with one game left to play. Tuesday's loss also guarantees the Orange will start their conference tournament on Tuesday, March 10. The result of Saturday's contest will determine the final seed and tip off time for the Orange. 

The Orange will conclude their regular season on Saturday, March 6 when they host the Pitt at the JMA Wireless Dome. Tip off is set for 4:30 p.m. ET. Roundtable will have immediate reaction following Saturday's game, including video from the postgame press conference, opinions, player interviews and more.
