Syracuse is off to a slow start this season, but a matchup with Albany could help the Orange right the ship. Following a 69-64 loss to Notre Dame to open ACC play, Syracuse is now 4-4 through its first 8 games, far off the pace last season that saw the Orange put together a 20-win-season.…

These Two Factors Are Holding Syracuse Basketball Back
These Two Factors Are Holding Syracuse Basketball Back What is going on with Syracuse basketball? After a 69-64 loss to Notre Dame, the Orange look out of sorts, can’t make free throws, and can’t find the ocean from long-range. There are some serious issues with this team, and problems that can’t be fixed overnight. So…

Elijah Moore Needs To Start For Syracuse
Last night was rough for Syracuse basketball. Sorry, that’s an understatement. The ‘Cuse was embarrassed by #3 Tennessee. Without JJ Starling, the offense looked extremely stagnant. JaQuan Carlos isn’t a scorer. He never has been and Adrien Autry has said that he doesn’t need to be one (I don’t understand how you can have a…

How Did Syracuse Comeback Over Miami?
It was quite the atmosphere on Saturday inside the Dome, starting with Syracuse putting points on the board after being down 21-0 and ending with an upset victory over the Miami Hurricanes.

Fran Brown Changed Everything for Syracuse Football
When the ESPN cameras were pressed in his face on a delirious evening at the Dome, Fran Brown proclaimed something that might seem premature but is impossible to argue. “Syracuse is back!” It was the viral statement that jolted through the college football atmosphere, replayed on memes and Instagram/TikTok reels in the hands of fans…

What Bowl Game Will Syracuse Play In?
I know we’re all still riding the high of Saturday’s 42-38 upset over #6 Miami, but year one of the Fran Brown era is not over yet for Syracuse football. The Orange finished the regular season at 9-3, and are going bowling for the third straight season. But rejoice ‘Cuse fans, there will not be…

Syracuse vs. Miami: Crystal Ball Predictions
Adam (6-5): Syracuse 38 – Miami 34 This pick is one of optimism and belief in Fran Brown. I’m usually a massive pessimist when it comes to sports. But, if there’s a time to believe its now. Syracuse has it’s best passing quarterback in decades right now. Kyle McCord is a legit top-tier quarterback, not…

Syracuse Needs to Blow Out Cornell
Through its first five games, Syracuse has had an interesting season to say the least. The Orange took two really good teams, Texas and Texas Tech, down to the wire and almost won both. Yes, you would have wanted a win in at least one of those games, but they showed that this squad can…

Two Areas Of Concern For SU Hoops
Syracuse fans learned a lot about the standing of head coach Adrian Autry’s squad over the last two nights at the Legends Classic in Brooklyn. SU came back but ultimately fell to Texas on Thursday, 70-66, and then lost to the Red Raiders of Texas Tech last night by a score of 79-74. Let’s start…

Syracuse vs. UConn: Crystal Ball Predictions
Adam (5-5): Syracuse 31 – UConn 17 I’ve said multiple games this year that it’s time for Fran Brown to show that this year’s team is different from Dino’s teams. After the win over Cal last week, I think this is time for Fran to finally prove that this team can play a full 60…

Fizz Report Card: Syracuse Falls Short To Texas 70-66
It was certainly a valiant effort, but the same demons from games past came out once again, and Syracuse fell to Texas 70-66 in the semifinal game of the Legends Classic for its first loss of the season. It was a tale of two halves with so much to dive into, so let’s get right…

Can Syracuse Beat Texas?
It’s been an interesting start to the season, to say the least for Syracuse Men’s Basketball. The Orange are 3-0 but have barely scraped by in all three games against low-major opponents. Yes, those opponents have struggled, however, the transitive property game is very dangerous, especially in basketball. Teams are shooting excellently against the Orange.…

Kiyan Anthony’s Impact on Syracuse Basketball
Friday was a good day for everyone affiliated with Syracuse University.

Fizz Report Card: Syracuse Takes Care Of Cal 33-25
For the first time since 2011, Syracuse football played a game in the Golden State. This time around, it was for the first time since 1968 with the University Of California. Coming off a disappointing 37-31 loss to Boston College, the Orange handled business and took down the Golden Bears 33-25. Who stood out? Who…

Syracuse vs. California: Crystal Ball Predictions
Adam (5-4): Cal 38 – Syracuse 28 If Syracuse can’t win at Boston College after its starting quarterback gets benched mid-game, then there’s just no way that I see the ‘Cuse traveling cross country and beating Cal. This is a very good Golden Bears team that’s record doesn’t tell the full story. Cal lost to…

Kiyan Anthony Officially Commits To Syracuse
Fizz Nation, I owe you all a sincere apology. On Wednesday, I said that “I don’t see a world where Kiyan Anthony chooses Syracuse.” Well, I was met with a lot of disagreement about that take, and here I am, sitting wrong. Just a few minutes ago, four-star recruit Kiyan Anthony announced on the “7…

West Coast, Best Coast For SU Football
Syracuse football jumps on another flight and travels back to the west coast for the second time this season. SU had a good experience when it beat UNLV in overtime in early October. So, why not remember those positive feelings and carry them up north to the Bay Area for a Saturday matinee with Cal?…

Syracuse Hoops Still Runs Through JJ Starling
Despite a slow start in the first halves of the opening two games for JJ Starling, Syracuse still relies on its junior guard to steady the ship amid many newcomers. However, Orange fans haven’t seen that happen on the court just yet this season. In the first two games, Starling has posted 14 points and…
-
Why I Think Kiyan Anthony Isn’t Choosing Syracuse
Syracuse basketball’s season is off to an… interesting start to say the least. The record reads 2-0, but beating Le Moyne and Colgate by a combined six points isn’t something to write home about. Aside from that, the biggest moment of SU basketball’s season might just be something that has nothing to do with the…

How Syracuse Avoided the Upset Against Colgate
Syracuse almost gave fans a heart attack on Tuesday, but it pulled through for a tight 74-72 win against Colgate.

Can Chris Bell Shine Again Versus Colgate?
Syracuse basketball returns to the hardwood for its second game of the season. The ‘Cuse hosts Colgate tonight in the Dome.

Nowhere November Returns For Syracuse Football
Here we go again. Syracuse football is back in another rut. Every season, it seems that once November arrives, SU finds a way to lose. Obviously, the deep playoff run for SU was essentially over when it lost to Pitt a couple of weeks ago. However, there was still some hope if Syracuse could sneak…

Did Syracuse Get Screwed On That Onside Kick Penalty?
Picture this: it’s the fourth quarter. You kick the field goal to cut the lead to one possession, and all you need to do is recover an onside kick. It’s no easy task, as onside attempts are 12% successful on average in the NCAA. You have all the hope in the world, and it gets…

How Big Of An Issue Is Syracuse’s Defense
Throughout most of this season, most of the focus around Syracuse has been on offense. It makes sense why.

How Should Syracuse Fans Feel After Opener vs Le Moyne?
Woof. I mean, that was almost catastrophic for Syracuse basketball in last night’s 86-82 win over Le Moyne. This was a Dolphins team that just went D1 last year and had nothing to play for, (not allowed to play in NCAA Tournament) yet they gave it their everything. SU was TRAILING Le Moyne at halftime…
-
Can Kyle McCord Bounce Back Against Virginia Tech?
Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord had a tough match against Pitt last Thursday. He threw three pick-sixes and five total interceptions. It was rough from the start. Good quarterbacks are quick to move on from their mistakes, and McCord definitely has the experience to make that happen given his tenure at Ohio State ahead of Syracuse.…

Lessons From A Disappointing Night In Pittsburgh
Boy, last night was a doozy. What an upsetting, unforgettable game for Syracuse fans in a 41-13 loss to No. 19 Pittsburgh.

Syracuse vs. Pittsburgh: Crystal Ball Predictions
Adam (4-2): Syracuse 42, Pittsburgh 31 This is the biggest game yet for Fran Brown without a doubt. Third on the road in a row, third of the season against a ranked opponent. There’s one reason that I think SU can get it done tonight. Kyle McCord has the experience to shine on the biggest…
