Star Power or Depth? SU’s Transfer Portal Strategy
The current iteration of college athletics makes absolutely no sense. Is it better than it was before when players were stuck at a school and made no money? Probably.

How Can Syracuse Basketball Still Believe?
To get very academic and quote Albert Einstein, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting different results.” Well that seems to be the case for this current Syracuse basketball team.

This season has not gone as planned for Syracuse men’s basketball.

Fizz Report Card: Syracuse Gets Embarrassed By Louisville 85-61
Three Point Defense: F- The amount of wide-open threes that Syracuse gave up is just comical.
