Syracuse basketball is almost here, but before we get there, here are our full 2019-20 crystal ball season predictions and top x-factors for the Orange.

Syracuse football is over, even with three games to go, 2019 has been an utter disappointment. Although that’s not the case for the Syracuse basketball squad. As a matter of fact, things are just about to get started in 2019-20.

The Orange has a brand new team with four new starters outside of forward Elijah Hughes. All of that youth has made experts and analysts uneasy about predicting what this team can do this year.

The general consensus seems to suggest that Syracuse will be on the bubble once again in 2019-20. So at the very least, it should have Cardiac Cuse fans on the edge of their seats all year long.

We have answers to all of those questions and more in the following slides! Here are our full crystal ball predictions for the season!
