Unfortunately our season ended very prematurely, and in the esteemed words of our fearless leader, nothing good every ends prematurely. The committee had a much more difficult time tabulating the results of the 9th Annual Iggy Award mainly because our prognostications were so off target and we did not want to duplicate the Oscar snafu. Because of that, we have revisited our tallying procedures and will implement more stringent compilation policies for the 10th Annual Iggy Award.
So, first we would like to thank all 80 entrants who were not afraid to publicly share their now embarrassing picks. Hopefully next season, our coach won't be so optimistic which caused us to jump off the deep end to anoint the 2016-2017 Syracuse Orangemen as National Champions back in October. I, for one, will still hopefully enjoy my upcoming weekend in Glendale, Arizona with sunshine, golf and free concerts by Aerosmith, Macklemore, the Chainsmokers and Keith Urban. Fortunately, I did not take my 401K and bet the future on the NCAA futures. If any of you did, you might want to take a good hard look in the mirror and realize this is just a game played by 18 to 23 year old kids. And also keep 1-800-Whatafool on speed dial.
So, now let's get down to business. The first Iggy category is for Regular Season record. We finished at 18-13. We had zero contestants choose 18-13, so the winner of the first Iggy is No One. If there was anyone who was remotely close to 18-13, the 9th Annual Iggy Committee might have chosen to go to the tiebreaker but it wasn't close.
The second Iggy category is for ACC conference record. We finished at 10-8. Again, out of our 80 expects we had no one choose 10-8. We did have 11-7, but the 9th Annual Iggy Committee, after a much heated discussion, took a vote and decided to stick to the principles of the contest and once again awarded the 2nd Iggy of the evening to No One.
So this brings us to the third Iggy of the evening. The Atlantic Coast Tournament Record. Ouch!!! This was our third appearance in this prestigious event but it was our third straight time of having the same result. It's probably a good thing we were ineligible to participate in 2015. JAB really didn't want to go to Greensboro that year anyways. So out of 80 entries, we had two smart fans who recognized a trend and chose 0-1 for the ACCT. We had Hoov and we had FortyFourCT and with the tiebreaker we are happy to award the 9th Annual Iggy for the ACCT to FortyFourCT. Congratulations!!!
Our fourth category is for our post season record. Umm, we had a problem again. 80 entries and 80 picks for the NCAA. No One chose us to participate in the NIT. So No One wins his (or hers) 3rd Iggy Award of the season. Unfortunately No One is a better picker than Some One or Any One. Next year I am definitely listening to No One.
Our fifth category is Points Per Game. Lots of people chose Tyler Lydon. Some chose Tyus Battle. I think one person chose Tyler Roberson. Only a handful of people chose Andrew White the Third. Fortunately a handful did because I would have hated to give out another Iggy to No One. AWIII averaged 18.5 ppg. We had AirForceOrange who chose 18.9 and PtzburghCuse who chose 18.1. Another tie breaking situation for the committee and we are proud to award the 9th Annual Iggy for Points Per Game to AirForceOrange. Congrats.
Our sixth category is Rebounds Per Game. Most entries chose Tyler Roberson. Why not. He led the team the year before at 8.5 rpg and he was now a returning senior. We all expected a big year. You could say, as Tyler Roberson went so did the Syracuse Orange. Years of therapy won't be able to answer all of life's questions so why even try. The correct result was Tyler Lydon at 8.6 RPG. Fortunately some people's crystal ball selected Lydon and the winner of the 9th Annual Iggy for Rebounds Per Game with a selection on the nose at 8.6 is Oraiste. Congratulations!!!
Our seventh category is Minutes Per Game. All but a handful of people thought Tyler Lydon was our Iron Man and he did average 36.1 MPG. However he wasn't number one. The leader was AWIII at 37.2. Very few people saw this coming and the winner (and also a 2016 8th Annual Iggy winner) being the closest to 37.2 is 81South. I believe 81South is the first time back to back and belly to belly winner so double congrats.
Our eight category was our tie breaking category for most made three's this season. In the spirit of competition, the 9th Annual Iggy Committee has decided to award an Iggy for this category this season as a bonus. So even though No One won three Iggys, No One came forward to pick them up. So we had some extras lying around. Most threes this season belonged to our new Syracuse Orangemen record holder in Andrew White the 3rd with 112. Sorry Scrantonians, we still love GMAC, but records are made to be broken. So in a very close race 113 to 110, the last three pointer of the season wrapped it up for Cusefan0307 over KaiserUEO. Congrats to Cusefan0307!!!
All winners will be mailed your 9th Annual Iggy Award once all of the proper documentation is signed and notarized and returned to the committee. Before we end this we did get a request from the Syracusefan Football Board to welcome all of the Basketball Only's to their site. Thank you all again for participating and congrats again to all of the winners. See you all next season
Good Evening Ladies and Germs:
It's time for the 9th Annual IGGY award, 2016-2017 edition. Lots of great things to look forward to this year to piggy back on last season's success, but with almost a brand new cast of characters. Like most of you, I have a feeling this season could be the ONE. Or, technically, the second ONE. I feel so confident, that I've already made arrangements for the Valley of the Sun for the first weekend of April. This years IGGY should be very interesting, so much so that the judges have decided that when referring to the IGGY, it will only be in capital letters from now on.
The categories are a little different this season as we are not dealing with the JAB suspension (How did that work out, Mr. NCAA?). But most are the same. The deadline this season is 4 pm of the first regular season game, which is vs Colgate on Friday, November 11th. Congrats to last years winners (as posted below) and good luck to everyone this year. Here we go:
1) Regular season record. There are 31 regular season games.
2) ACC season record. There are 18 ACC games.
3) ACC Tournament record. The most we could play is five games unless we are one of the top four seed four games. See this attached link for further questions about how the tourney is set up.http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools...pdf/2013-14/misc_non_event/acc-tourney-14.pdfThanks to TDTOrange for that info.
4) Post-season record (and notate if NCAA, NIT, CBI, etc.)
5) Leading scorer and how many points per game
6) Leading rebounder and how many rebounds per game
7) Player with most minutes per game and how many.
8) TIEBREAKER-Leader in 3 pointers made and how many
