The Fizz Predicts Syracuse and Wake Forest
Logan Grossman (5-3): Syracuse 27 Wake Forest 24 I‚Äôve on back and forth on this game, which has to be considered a toss up (Vegas sees it that way too). The reason that Syracuse will come out on top is the venue. Since losing to Middle Tennessee State at home, the Orange have played some…

Syracuse Basketball Player Preview: Bourama Sidibe
Coming into the year, if you asked someone who the Orange‚Äôs most intriguing player for 2017-18 was, you probably got answers like Tyus Battle, Oshae Brissett, Frank Howard, etc. But that has definitely shifted with the emergence of Bourama Sidibe in the preseason. Sidibe was a STAR in the preseason, so take that for what…

No, Jim Boeheim won‚Äôt be playing on the court, but he is definitely a big player in how the Syracuse men‚Äôs basketball season plays out.

Syracuse Basketball Player Preview: Matthew Moyer
In a season with plenty of unknowns for Syracuse, redshirt freshman Matthew Moyer is perhaps the biggest question mark. Moyer hasn‚Äôt played in a game that counts for SU, but was called the Orange‚Äôs most experienced forward at media day by Jim Boeheim. While that doesn‚Äôt seem to add up, it makes more sense when…

Syracuse Basketball Player Preview: Frank Howard
Frank Howard came into last season as the most experienced point guard Jim Boeheim had.

Syracuse Basketball Player Preview: Geno Thorpe
Geno Thorpe is new to the Syracuse basketball program. But, despite the youth this team has compared to last year‚Äôs, Thorpe is not one of the freshmen.

Michael Carter-Williams led the 2012-13 Orange to a Final Four and his successor, Tyler Ennis carried the Orange to a 25-0 start in 2013-14. There is no question that there has been a drop off in point guard play these past few…

Meet Syracuse Basketball’s Great Unknown: Marek Dolezaj
It‚Äôs easy to pick out Marek Dolezaj from a crowd. Syracuse basketball‚Äôs 2017 media day was no different of an occasion for the freshman.
