On Tuesday, March 2 at 7 p.m. the top-ranked Orange (27-2, 14-2) will host St. John’s (15-13, 5-11) in its regular-season home finale.It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since Syracuse has been ranked No. 1. The way the Orange are playing, it's not hard to believe they may end up on top of the college basketball lines.
Syracuse will try to clinch the outright Big East regular-season crown Tuesday night against St. John's in the final home game for senior starters Andy Rautins and Arinze Onuaku.
It’s the final time seniors Andy Rautins and Arinze Onuaku will take the floor at the Carrier Dome. The duo will be recognized in a brief Senior Night ceremony prior to the March Madness Picks contest. Also taking part in the Senior Night festivities will be team managers Brett Woltz, Matt Reynolds, Dan Gibbs and Spencer Weinman.
The Orange have won nine of their last 10 and six straight at home over the Red Storm (15-13, 5-11), who appear likely to miss the NCAA Tournament Projections for the seventh straight season. St. John's has lost 13 straight games to ranked teams, including six this season.
