Rankings from AP poll

Previous season

The Orange finished the 2022–23 season 17–15, 10–10 in ACC play to finish in a tie for eighth place. As the eighth seed in the ACC tournament, they lost to Wake Forest in the second round. This was the second year in a row that Syracuse did not qualify for any post season tournament, a first in Boeheim's 47-year tenure.

This season marked the final season coached by long–time head coach Jim Boeheim, who was replaced following the season by former assistant coach Adrian Autry.[1]
