The Orange won their first three games of the season before participating in the Maui Invitational. They lost the first two games of the tournament against seventh-ranked Tennessee and eleventh-ranked Gonzaga. They finished the tournament with a win against Chaminade. They followed that with an ACC–SEC Challenge win against LSU before losing their ACC opener to Virginia. The Orange won their final four non-conference games to finish with a non-conference record of 9–2. Syracuse won four of its next six ACC games, including two wins against Pittsburgh and the only losses coming against fourteenth-ranked Duke and seventh-ranked North Carolina. The Orange weren't able to carry that momentum forward, as they lost four of their next six games. They rebounded to end their season, winning five of their last seven games, including an upset win over seventh-ranked North Carolina. They completed a season sweep of NC State but ended the season with a loss as they were beaten by Clemson for the second time in the season.

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]
