The Syracuse Orange fell in the ESPN and USA Today men's basketball rankings yet again. The Orange followed up Wednesday's 63-49 defeat to number one UConn with an unconvincing 98-94 victory over unranked Georgetown.

Connecticut remains #1 for the third week in a row followed by #2 Oklahoma and #3 North Carolina. Other ranked Big East teams include Pittsburgh at number four and Louisville in the seventh spot. LSU moved into the rankings as Florida State dropped out from them.

The Orange fell to #24 in the AP Poll and #25 in the ESPN Poll.
