YOUTH RULES: #11 Syracuse Outlasts, Upsets #6 TCU
In a season with so many offensive hardships, Syracuse found its One Shining Marek. Forward Marek Dolezaj came out of nowhere with his best offensive outburst in a 57-52 win over TCU in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament. Dolezaj finished the game with 17 points, despite fouling out with 6:11 remaining in the…

Syracuse Survives Arizona State in First Four, 60-56
The 2017-18 Syracuse men‚Äôs basketball is a cockroach. It doesn‚Äôt always look pretty, but it just refuses to die. That was the case again in the Orange‚Äôs 60-56 win over Arizona State in a thrilling First Four battle Wednesday in Dayton. Neither team led by more than seven at any point, and neither team‚Äôs fan…

Toss Up: Does Syracuse Or Boston College Have The Better Big Three?
It‚Äôs no secret that Syracuse has heavily relied on the trio of Tyus Battle, Frank Howard and Oshae Brissett. But tonight, the Orange faces a set of teammates that might be even more powerful. Boston College boasts a big three of Ky Bowman, Jerome Robinson and Jordan Chatman. So which trio will be the bigger…

Syracuse Rallies Late, But Can’t Complete The Comeback Against #10 UNC
Fast forward two years, and Syracuse could win this game if these rosters stayed intact. But the No. 10 Tar Heels‚Äô experience was too much for the Orange to handle in SU‚Äôs 78-74 loss to the defending champs. Credit Syracuse. It seemed like a loss was a foregone conclusion at the end of the first…

Battle, Howard Power Syracuse to Shocking Win Over Louisville
Hello Syracuse. Welcome back to the bubble. By some miracle, this SU team topped Louisville 78-73. On the road. On short rest. It wasn‚Äôt too long ago when people began to question if Syracuse would win another game this season.¬†Yes, this is the same Orange team that was just held to 44 points at home.…

Syracuse Stomps Virginia Tech To Open Conference Play
This was the number one GIF of 2017. So it is only fitting that Syracuse submits that type of performance to close out the calendar year. SU rolled past Virginia Tech 68-56 in its ACC opener. Who saw this coming? The Hokies came in averaging 91.3 points per game, good for fifth in the nation.…

Oshae Brissett Mirroring the Talent, Composure of Tyler Ennis
In the Fizz’s player preview of the Syracuse Basketball season, we compared freshman point guard Howard Washington to Syracuse legend (? is that fair? Maybe not, but a great player) Tyler Ennis. Washington has had extremely limited opportunities this season and perhaps we overthought things. Or maybe under thought it. Comparing a freshman point guard…

Brissett, Battle Power Syracuse’s Comeback Past Georgetown
It seems like we‚Äôre due for one of these types of games every year. Syracuse gutted out an 86-79 overtime win over longtime rival Georgetown in D.C. We saw the press, clutch shooting and an unheralded player stepping up. The Orange seemed dead and gone throughout the first 30 or so minutes of the game,…

Syracuse Freshmen Step Up Big In Gutsy Win Over Maryland
To borrow a Dino Babers phrase, the freshmen showed Jim Boeheim they can cut the grass tonight. Syracuse leaned heavily on its newbies to gut out a 72-70 win over Maryland in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. A bad back couldn‚Äôt slow down Tyus Battle. Both the guard and Jim Boeheim said Battle was playing at…

Is Syracuse Basketball Better Than We Thought?
Yes, the sample size is small at the moment. But Syracuse basketball is 3-0 to start the season (as it should be), and the wins have been impressive so far. The Orange has beaten two tournament teams from last year as well as Cornell. The closest game has been Iona, but the Gaels are the…

Three Things To Watch From Both Syracuse and Iona
Iona wraps up its Central New York swing with a stop in Syracuse tonight. The Gaels are on the heels of a 69-67 loss to Albany in its opener, meanwhile the Orange comes off a big win over Cornell. Last season, Iona won the MAAC and was ousted in the first round of the tournament…

Syracuse Basketball Player Preview: Oshae Brissett
Let‚Äôs take a little trip back to last season for SU basketball. Andrew White and Tyler Lydon, a pair of forwards (yes I‚Äôm counting White as a forward because toward the end of the season, he was the starting SF, with John Gillon and Tyus Battle getting the nods at the top of the zone)…

3 SU Basketball Newcomers to Know
While everyone is still hung up on the SU football win over then #2 Clemson a few weeks ago, people are seemingly forgetful of the fact that basketball season is quickly approaching on the SU campus. Jim Boeheim and company open up their exhibition slate with a matchup versus Southern New Hampshire in the Carrier…

Who could SU basketball use its remaining scholarships on (even if it won’t)?
With Nate Roberts‚Äô commitment of to Washington last week, the book on Syracuse‚Äôs 2018 recruiting class is most likely closed. The Orange has commitments from Darius Bazley, Jalen Carey and Buddy Boeheim, but still has two available scholarships to give. It‚Äôs unlikely any of them will choose Syracuse, but SU does have 2018 scholarships offered…

Only school he visited — Eurohopes (@Eurohopes) May 21, 2017 Any news of a potential commit is, of course, huge for…

How Does Oshae Brissett Compare To The ACC’s Top Commits?
Syracuse basketball’s 2017 recruiting class is slim, and some people are worried Jim Boeheim hasn’t put together the talent he’ll need to compete in the 2017-18 season. But the Orange does have Oshae Brissett, the highest ranked player committed to the Orange. Yesterday,¬†247Sports put Brissett at No. 48 its final recruit rankings, giving the Orange…

How Worried Should Syracuse Be Without A Top 100 Recruit?
For the first time since 2013, the Orange‚Äôs entire recruiting class is not a part of the ESPN Top 100. In fact, none of SU‚Äôs incoming members are in the top 100 for the first time since ESPN started ranking recruits in 2007. It‚Äôs getting late in the process and the Orange still has its…

Syracuse basketball isn’t playing in this season’s NCAA Tournament, but good news did come to the Orange on this first day of the round of 64.

On Saturday night, when Quade Green announces where he‚Äôll play college basketball, Syracuse may feel like a jaded lover.¬†SU has been pursuing the five-star point guard for at least two years, and his commitment to the Orange felt like a done deal as recently as last week. But the latest rumblings say Green could be…

After Brissett’s Commitment, Who’s Next?
The monkey is finally off the Orange‚Äôs back. Syracuse picked up its first recruit in the class of 2017 after Oshae Brissett announced that he is coming to The Hill next year. The 6-9 forward is a nice building block for SU‚Äôs 2017 recruiting class, but the Orange could potentially pool together its best crop…
