Notching yet another Sweet 16 trip, it’s worth celebrating the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team, obviously. But with that celebration, it’s of course worth looking at how SU stacks up against its peers since this is how college sports work.
So we do just that below.
Since 2000, Syracuse has made 10 Sweet 16s (including this year) — which is tied for the sixth-best total in the time period. That list they’re tied with is fairly extensive, and includes UCLA, Gonzaga, Arizona and Wisconsin. Ahead of those schools are exactly the names you’ve probably ticked off in your head already: Duke (15), Kansas (13), Michigan State (12), Kentucky (12) and North Carolina (11).
