A fan survey conducted by Syracuse Reacts indicates that most Syracuse Orange men's basketball supporters do not expect the team to qualify for the NCAA tournament this season.
The poll results, released November 7, 2026, reflect low confidence among the fanbase despite the team's upcoming schedule. The Orange opened their season on November 5 against Central Connecticut State at the JMA Wireless Dome, where forward Amarri Monroe was seen diving for a loose ball in a game captured by Reuters photographers.
Syracuse has not made the NCAA tournament since 2021, and the survey underscores growing skepticism about a return to March Madness under current roster construction.
