Sixty-four teams received bids to the NCAA tournament Sunday night. Syracuse was not one of them.
The Orange (23-8, 14-6 Atlantic Coast) saw its 2015 season come to a close on Sunday.
After a massive improvement on its 2014 record (9-21, 2-11), the Orange was seen as a bubble team in this year’s selection.
Syracuse finished the season No. 4 in the ACC and posted a 1-3 record against ranked teams. The single win over a ranked team came in the Orange’s final game of the season, when it upset No. 15 Louisville, 3-0.
Four ACC teams received bids to the tournament.
Louisville earned the No. 15 overall selection, and North Carolina, Florida State, and Miami each earned at-large bids. Miami finished the season No. 5 in the ACC, but topped the Orange, 3-0, in their only meeting this season.
Seniors Monika Salkute, Nico Serratore, Silvi Uattara, and Gosia Wlaszczuk made their final collegiate appearance for the Orange in Friday’s upset of Louisville.
