Syracuse coach Felisha Legette-Jack is happy her team is being recognized nationally with the Orange's first ranking in three years, but she is focused on bigger things. “Carolina is next then Boston College, which lost to Duke at Duke by five,” Legette-Jack said. The Orange (11-1) are off to their best start since 2018 and entered The Associated Press women's basketball poll Monday for the first time since 2021 coming in at No. 25.
Dyaisha Fair knocked down four first half 3-pointers, while Syracuse turned the ball over 24 times in a 79-73 win over Alabama in the ACC/SEC Challenge.
