We know how valued a winning IGGY AWARD is and in a normal season we will have at least 80 entries. Well, this is not a normal season and we only have about 30 entries with just over 25 hours to tip off to Bryant. So the IGGY COMMITTEE is willing to flex the rules. Since we normally play two exhibition games to wet your appetite, we will push the deadline until noon of our 3rd game (Rider on Saturday, December 5).



The IGGY AWARDS COMMITTEE believes it's time to roll out the 13th ANNUAL IGGY AWARD categories. We have a game scheduled in a week, so just in case it happens, we better be prepared for it. It's been over eight months since our last game and with no preseason reports and no exhibition games, many of us will be going into this blind. We did get the Syracuse.com preview and the Daily Orange preview and SWC's great preview but can we verify first hand that Marek has really gained 20 pounds as has been reported. And is it muscle gain or is it Covid gain?

Since the world has been upside down with no end in sight, the IGGY COMMITTEE has recognized that many things can happen over the next four or five months. Due to this the IGGY COMMITTEE has taken COVID precautions and has adjusted the categories to be prepared for whatever happens. So without further ado, here are the categories and please read carefully as some of the categories have changed. So please make your selections before Friday, November 27th at noon (unless the game is cancelled and the cutoff will be moved to noon of our actual first game or until the IGGY COMMITTEE feels the time is right to close the entries). After the categories is the recap of the 12th ANNUAL IGGY AWARDS, Let's give all of those winners some recognition now, because as you all know, there is nothing harder in this world than winning back to back IGGY AWARDS.

Thank you all who participate and good luck!!!

1) ACC record (by percent): Due to the possibility of cancelled games we are picking by percent. If you think we will win all of the ones we play, which could be anywhere from 1 to 20 games, then put down 100%. If you think we win half our games then 50%. You guys can figure out the rest. We will not be doing non conference games this year so you don't have to worry if we are going to beat Georgetown and Rutgers or even get a chance to play them. And if by slim chance all of the games are cancelled then we will postpone the awards until next year, or fill them up with your favorite adult beverage and shed some tears in them.

2) Post season record. Put whatever you feel is going to happen. There are a lot of options that can happen for the ACCT and for the NCAA/NIT/CBI, etc. Whoever guesses closest to what reality brings us in March will take home an IGGY AWARD. Creativity counts.

3) Leading scorer (points per game). Put down the number and then choose either Buddy or the field as your winner.

4) Leading rebounds per game. Number and player.

5) Leading minutes per game. Number and choose Buddy or the field

6) List Buddy's ranking in all of D-1 in total number of made 3's. So if you feel that Buddy will make more 3's than anyone else in all of college D-1 then you would rank him 1st.

7) List JGIII's ranking in made FT % in D-1.

8) Total attendance of all home games (not average): It could be zero. It could be more than zero. What do you think it is going to be?

9) TIEBREAKER: Who is going to lead the team in made 3 point shooting % this season. Give me a % and who you think it will be. There are no minimum per game so it could be a walk on who shoots 1 for 1 for the season or a great shooter who hoists up 150 of them.

Here are last years results. Congrats again from the IGGY AWARDS COMMITTEE.

Ok, Syracusefan Orange fans. After much consideration, the IGGY COMMITTEE has finally come to a near unanimous decision on how to handle to shortened season and are ready to award the winners of the 12th annual IGGY AWARDS. Due to factors beyond the wheelhouse of the IGGY COMMITTEE, we have had to eliminate a couple of the categories plus the tiebreaker. Due to this, the IGGY COMMITTEE has decided to change the rules a bit, similar to when the Cuse were forced to play in a play in game a couple seasons ago vs ASU.


Once again, the season ended prematurely. Since nothing good ever ends prematurely, we will skip all of the juvenile jokes and go right to the results. However, the IGGY COMMITTEE would be remiss if we neglected to mention the COVID-19 virus and say a quick moment of prayer that we get through this safe and sound and get our life back to normal (if that is even possible).

First category-REGULAR SEASON RECORD-17-14

We know we didn't win any big games except one vs Virginia. We know we lost a couple games that we should have and could have won which ultimately would have kept us out of the NCAA's. We know the OOC was brutal and we had five losses before Xmas. One of the records that JAB set. We know the last regular season game and loss vs Miami threw this category into a twister. So we had eight people pick 17-14. Since we threw out the Buddy Boeheim tiebreaker, we looked at the in conference record. Well none of the eight picked 10-10, so we decided to go with an award split eight ways. So in a very benevolent spirit, the IGGY COMMITTEE awards the first IGGY to the following (and please keep your speech to 30 seconds and keep politics out of it): Guy Fawkes, Fly Rodder, Cisco Cuse, Bomber Orange, Madbiker, pfister1, OrangeOnions and SUOrange08. Congrats.

ACC RECORD 10-10

So we had 17 people pick 10-10. Probably the category with the most right answers in the history of the IGGY'S. The IGGY COMMITTEE knew they couldn't award 17 IGGY'S and none of the tiebreakers really stood out, so in an act of chivalry, the IGGY COMMITTEE has awarded the second IGGY of the night to one of the leading ladies of Syracusefan.com, so congratulations to Cheriehoop.

LEADING SCORER-ELIJAH HUGHES 19.0

First thing the IGGY COMMITEE wants to say is that we wouldn't win ten fricken games this year without Eli. Eli was the heart and soul of our team and had a great season. Good luck to him in the future. Less than 1% chance he returns, but we can still be optimistic. No surprise that Eli was our leading scorer. Most everyone picked him. Only one was almost dead on. With a guess of 18.9 ppg, our next IGGY goes to Seng85 (who btw, I have never understood what your name stood for).

LEADING REBOUNDER-BOURAMA SIDIBE 7.6

Not everyone picked the big man from Mali. Hughes and Q were also considered and maybe one person guessed Marek. But BS deserved to win this category and let's give him props. Often injured, underweight, foul prone, he made it through the entire season and got stronger as the season went on. I mentioned in a post that he needs to spend all off season chasing chickens, like in Rocky, to work on his dexterity and lateral movement to help cut down on his almost season record of personal fouls. Otis, my man, you still hold the record. So we had two people nail this right on the nose, very similar to how Cole Anthony's elbow caught Boo on the nose. Congrats to the next IGGY winners: Shermstheman and 721Comstock. Your IGGY AWARDS are in the mail.

MINUTES PER GAME-ELIJAH HUGHES 36.7

Eli very rarely came off the court and as Syracuse's best player, he deserved the court time. Seventeen times this season he played all 40 minutes (45 in one game due to OT). And this number would have been higher had he not gotten injured vs NC State (3 minutes) and Miami (20 minutes) which coincidentally were games we were favored in and lost. So, a lot of people picked Eli and we had one person pick 36.6 mpg as the closest, so the next IGGY is awarded to dan7800.

FRESHMAN LEADING SCORER JGIII- 12.4

Wow. Hardly anyone picked the all time leading scorer in New York State Basketball History. Did you know that he even outscored Lance Stephenson in high school? So, in a category that is controversial in many ways, even continuing into the off season, we had two people come very close. So we are awarding two IGGY's again. With a guess of 12.2, we have Delmar and with a guess of 12.6 we have DNabb. We could have gone with the Price is Right rule, but chose instead to award both, so congrats guys.

Our other categories will be back next season and hopefully you will also. The IGGY COMMITTEE thanks you all for your participation in the 12th annual IGGY AWARDS and promise some special surprises for the lucky 13th. Practice safe hygiene and social distancing. Thank you.

Thanks for doing this again Clifton and thanks as well to the rest of the Elite Iggy Committee.

1. I think we will play 15 ACC games in the regular season and go 9-6 in them. So 60%.
2. I think the ACC tournament is canceled due to COVID. SU does not play. We will get selected to the NCAA tournament, where we win 2 games and then lose.
3. Alan Griffin (field) 19.2
4. 9.1 Bourama Sidibe.
5.36.2 mpg. That would be Jackson Boeheim.
6. Buddy will finish 9th in the country with 81.
7. I think Joe will finish 4th in the county in FT shooting, finishing at 91.40%
8. 0
9. Buddy Boeheim (41.4%)
