Syracuse Orange men's basketball fans are not expecting the team to reach the NCAA tournament this season, according to a recent fan survey. The program, which plays its home games at the JMA Wireless Dome, opened its campaign on November 5, 2026, against Central Connecticut State.
Forward Amarri Monroe, wearing number 8, was photographed diving for a loose ball during the second half of that season-opening matchup. The fan sentiment reflects uncertainty surrounding the team's prospects for a March Madness appearance.
