Latest bracketology projections for Syracuse women's basketball.

On Sunday, here's what I'm seeing for SU in various NCAA Tournament predictions:
CBS Sports: No. 8 seed (playing No. 9 seed Princeton)
ESPN: No. 9 seed (playing No. 8 seed Oklahoma State)

Center Uche Izoje had one of the best freshman campaigns in Syracuse women's basketball history. She was the ACC rookie of the year and also named to the All-ACC first team, the All-Defensive squad and the All-Freshman team. Izoje also made the All-ACC Tournament second team.

Senior guard Laila Phelia was on the All-ACC second squad, while junior guard Sophie Burrows was named the conference's Kay Yow scholar-athlete of the year. Legette-Jack placed third in the ACC's coach of the year voting.

Also, a shout-out to 'Cuse associate head coach Natasha Adair, who this past Friday was named to the 20-person Advancing Beyond in Sports ("ABIS") 2025-26 women's basketball assistant coaches watch list.
