Monday Madness: Time to determine the best Syracuse men’s basketball teams since 1975

We all miss our brackets so each week we’ll bring you a new one

We all miss the rush of filling out our brackets after Selection Sunday so here at TNIAAM we’re going to give you a different bracket each week for you to vote on. We’ll start it off with the best Syracuse Orange men’s basketball teams in the modern era-apologies to Vic Hanson and Dave Bing.

Here’s how we seeded them in an undisclosed scientific process conducted by our staff (remotely of course because we are always #socialdistancing here at TNIAAM). If you need to refresh yourself about these squads, you can find information at Orangehoops.

1. 2003 (30-5)

2. 2010 (30-5)

3. 1987 (31-7)

4. 2012 (34-3)

5. 1996 (29-9)

6. 2013 (30-10)

7. 1989 (30-8)

8. 1975 (27-9)

9. 2000 (26-6)

10. 2004 (23-8)

11. 1980 (26-4)

12. 1979 (26-4)

13. 1984 (23-9)

14. 2014 (28-6)

15. 2009 (28-10)

16. 2011 (27-8)

Now here’s where you come in, we’re going to let you vote on each match-up. Polls will be open until 5:00 pm Pacific time so we can prepare the next day’s match-up.
