The 2024–25 Syracuse Orange men's basketball team will represent Syracuse University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Orange will be led by second-year head coach Adrian Autry and play their home games at JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York as twelfth-year members of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Previous season

[edit]

The Orange finished the 2023–24 season 20–12 and 11–9 in ACC play to finish in a three-way tie for fifth place. Syracuse lost the tiebreaker and was the seventh seed in the ACC tournament. They faced tenth-seed NC State for the third time this season in the Second Round and NC State avenged both regular season losses by defeating the Orange 83–65. They were not invited to the NCAA tournament and they were eligible to participate in the NIT Tournament, but they opted not to participate.[1]
