The Syracuse Orange men's basketball program is an intercollegiate men's basketball team representing Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York. The program is classified in the NCAA Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and the team competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).

Syracuse is considered one of the most prestigious college basketball programs in the country^[2] with 3 overall claimed National Championships and 1 NCAA Tournament championship, as well being a National Runner-up twice. Syracuse is ranked sixth in total victories among all NCAA Division I programs and seventh in all-time win percentage among programs with at least 50 years in Division I, with an all-time win–loss record of 2042–931^† (.687) as of March 29, 2021.^[3] The Orange are also sixth in NCAA Tournament appearances (41), seventh in NCAA Tournament victories (70^†), and eleventh in Final Four appearances (6).

The Orange play their home games at the JMA Wireless Dome, often referred to as the JMA Dome and known as the Carrier Dome from 1980 to 2022. The JMA Wireless Dome is the largest arena in NCAA DI basketball with a maximum capacity of 35,642. Syracuse's home court total attendance has led the nation 25 times, and its per-game season average attendance has been ranked first 14 times since the opening of the Carrier Dome in 1980.^[4] The most recent record-breaking game was against Duke in 2019 with the crowd of 35,642 people.^[5] The JMA Dome is often considered one of the best home court advantages in college basketball.^[6][7]

Under former head coach Jim Boeheim, 10 Big East regular season championships, five Big East tournament championships, 35 NCAA tournament appearances (and 41 all-time), and three appearances in the national title game.^[8]

In 2015, after a lengthy investigation, the NCAA's Committee on Infractions ordered Syracuse to vacate 101 wins from five different seasons; however, the NCAA confirmed that sanctions did not include the removal of any trophies or banners, and Syracuse claims all of its NCAA Tournaments appearances and conference titles from those years.^[9] The investigation required Syracuse to vacate 79 wins from the 2006, 2007, and 2012 seasons.^{[10][note 1]}
