Syracuse Orange men's basketball fans are not expecting the team to reach the NCAA tournament this season, according to the latest Syracuse Reacts survey.
The fan poll, conducted by SB Nation's Syracuse Reacts, indicates low confidence in the Orange's chances of "dancing in March" — a colloquial term for participating in March Madness.
The sentiment comes as Syracuse opened its season with a game against Central Connecticut State on November 5, 2026, at the JMA Wireless Dome. In that contest, Orange forward Amarri Monroe (8) was photographed diving for a loose ball against Blue Devils guard Jhace Johnson (2).
Kevin Wall of SB Nation reported the survey results on November 7, 2026.
