Welcome to the 14th Annual IGGY AWARDS presentation. The IGGY COMMITTEE had to adjust their plans to choose their winners as they weren't originally expected to meet for a few weeks. Hopefully, this won't be a recurring theme next season. No need to rehash the season as we all witnessed it up close. While it was stupendous that we were able to attend games in person again, and even one without a mask, and we were able to have a front row seat to "Father Knows Best", let's go right to the presentation of awards. The IGGY COMMITTEE wants to thank all the diehards who are willing to put their money where their mouths are, to hopefully carry the title of IGGY winner 2022.

1) ACC record-We are scheduled for 20 ACC regular season games. If by chance that Covid causes any cancellations, then we will revert back to percentage vs record and let the IGGY Committee figure out all the math, but for your official entry please predict your record based on a 20 game ACC season.

We finished with a record of 9-11. No one predicted that, but we did have one lone soul pick 10-10. We knew that some of the categories of 14th ANNUAL IGGY AWARDS were going to challenging so the IGGY COMMITTEE has decided to award the first IGGY of the evening to that person. Congrats to Oakland. Your IGGY is in the mail.

2) Out of Conference record-We have 11 out of conference games. Some of our opponents are unknown due to the format of the B4A, but use your best judgement on how you think Cuse will do in those 11 games.

Our Out of Conference record was 6-5. We had a ton of people predict 7-4 so we knew we were going to lose some games. However, not too many people predicted the Colgate debacle. But we did have two fans (ummm.) who knew we were going to lose five games. Actually, one did and the other predicted what percentage we were going to finish at. He kind of followed directions and neither one did a good job with the tie-breaker, so the IGGY COMMITTEE decided to award split IGGY'S, so congratulations to TrueBlue25 and to Dan7800 for your awards.

3) ACC Tournament-We could play anywhere from one to five games depending on our seed and how we perform.

So, we had a ton of 2-1 predictions. Unfortunately, playing in the 8/9 slot without Jesse and Buddy "the Puncher" Boeheim, hurt our chances to advance. Without a healthy Jesse and Symir, for the games he missed, maybe we could have got to the seven slot. This might have helped us win a second game. But, we faced the #1 seed Duke Blue Devils and in a brilliant show, we had a one point lead with 3:09 remaining. Our guys went zero dark 3:09 and we allowed Duke to win the game. We played well but just another woulda, coulda game in a would,coulda year.

So, we finished the ACC tournament with a record of 1-1. Still had a bunch of predictions for that number. So, we went to Tiebreaker #1. No one even close. So, we had to go to Tiebreaker#2 and that worked. So, the IGGY COMMITTEE is proud to award the next IGGY to Zelda Zonk. Congratulations!!! Side note: All these years, never knew the Zelda Zonk reference, so the committee googled it. Interesting. I always felt a weird kinship with Marilyn as she died the day before my 3rd birthday. And she died a day before Patrick Ewing's birth. Any chance that her soul ended up in Patrick's body. Probably not and it is a really dark subject considering we are celebrating IGGY'S so we will table that for another time.

4) NCAA Tournament-First four games do not count (or whatever they are calling them this year) so we could play anywhere from one to six games. If you do not think Cuse will make the NCAAT then put 0-0 as your prediction.

Speaking of dark, let's talk about the NCAA tournament. Crickets!!! How about the NIT? More crickets. CBI? Jiminy crickets. The IGGY COMMITTEE thought for sure they were going to save some money in this category, but, lo and behold, two people predicted 0-0 in the NCAA's. That blasphemy!!! Last year we made the Sweet Sixteen. And we have a Hall of Famer as a head coach. The 2-3 zone. With Man-to-Man principles. We even played a 3-2 and 1-3-1 and Box and Two. Except for the Diamond and One, the dinosaur broke out all the zone defenses. Unfortunately, he didn't break out the picket fence when we needed to pass the ball inside. Lots of things hurt us, and not withstanding Jesse's season ending injury, failure to get the ball inbounds is what ultimately helped keep us off the bubble.

The IGGY COMMITTEE went back to the tiebreaker. #1-again not close. #2, yes, we have a winner. So, dropping a deuce for the Cuse, the IGGY COMMITTEE is proud (sad?) to award the next IGGY to Jasoncuse. Congrats and hopefully next year you will find a reason for a more positive prediction.

5) Leading scorer per game and how many. Last year we did Buddy vs the field and will do the same this year. Please put down the number and either Buddy or the field as your prediction.

Ok. We had a lot of Buddy predictions. No surprise. The kid is a gamer. Made 1st team ACC. Congrats to Buddy. We had one person pin the tail on the donkey with the correct prediction of 19.2. Congrats to 721Comstock. Great job. Your IGGY is in the mail.

6) Leading rebounder. Player and number. I expect this category to be all over the board.

We knew this category was going to be all over the board. The predictions pretty much fell into place based on the two pre-season game averages. Benny (7.0) Jimmy (6.0) Jesse (5.5) and Cole (5.0), except maybe a few more for Jesse. But, lots of people predicted Benny. Only three predicted Cole who was the winner at 6.7 rebounds per game. So we went to the closest to the pin and the IGGY COMMITTEE is proud to award the next IGGY to Niastri with his prediction of 7.3.

7) Rank of Buddy Boeheim’s made threes in the overall NCAA. If you think he is going to make the 10th amount of threes in the country then you would put 10.

So, technically this category shouldn't be awarded until the last bucket is made in April. However, the IGGY COMMITTEE realized a little late that they never awarded an IGGY last year in this category and are too lazy to award it retroactively. So, if someone wants to be an apprentice IGGY COMMITTEE member and do the heavy lifting, feel free to go back to last year's predictions and results. Let's move forward to this year. The IGGY COMMITTEE made an executive decision to pretend the season ends right now. Buddy is currently 43rd in made threes for the year with a total of 88. JG3 is currently ranked 37th with a total of 89. Some 5'9" dude from Liberty is first with a total of 142 on 39% shooting and averaged almost 25 ppg. I looked him up and he just completed his fourth year. The IGGY COMMITTEE is a little foggy if that means he still eligibility or not, but hopefully he will be in the portal.

Lots of predictions of top ten and top 20. A few people were smarter, or realized that he only made 77 last season, so to finish that high up would be a major accomplishment. We had a few close ones, including one person who predicted that Buddy would rank 44th this year. And since everyone else predicted a higher number, this person will win no matter how many people pass Buddy in the next couple weeks. So the IGGY COMMITTEE is proud to award the next IGGY, and his second of the evening, to 721Comstock. Nice job. It's not easy to win an IGGY, let alone two in one year.

8) TIEBREAKER-Who will lead the team in 3 point shooting this season (same tiebreaker as last year). Will it be one of our rotation guys like Buddy, JG3, Cole, Jimmy or Symir or will it be a walk-on that shoots 1-1 for 100%. We just need the player and not the percentage

Ok. Fun category. We had a lot of people predict Cole and Buddy and JG3. And we had some people predict Paddy Casey, Chazz Owens and Shane Feldman. And it ended up being a walk-on that won with a shooting percentage of 100% (1-1). However, no one picked our winner, so the IGGY COMMITTEE, in an unprecedented move, awards the last IGGY of the year to Arthur Cordes. Congratulations on your brilliant three point shooting. We will mail your IGGY to the Melo Center where hopefully it takes it's rightful place next to that piece of hardware given out in 2003.



The IGGY Awards Committee thanks everyone who entered and the decision of the committee is final (unless we made a mistake. Let’s hope everyone has a great offseason and feel free to enter the Cali's prior to our football kickoff.

Great, now we're going to have another NCAA violation because you went ahead and awarded an Iggy to a walk-on. Impermissible benefits. At least wrap it up in some NIL logo fish wrap.

Kudos to the committee for doing an excellent for this challenging season. Well done as always.

It is altogether fitting and proper that I won nothing during a season when the team pretty much accomplished none of their goals. It was a rough season and I want to forget it as soon as possible.

Cordes gets my player of the year. One game this year, I got @cto’s awesome courtside seats.

As I was walking to the seat during pregame warmups, a ball caromed off the rim hard and headed directly to me. I caught it. Have been hoping this would happen for years. My moment. The ball felt good. I thought….I can make this shot.

As I gazed for the rim, I heard a voice. ‘Ah, sir?’

Some red haired kid in a Syracuse uniform was talking to me. What the hell? It was my time to show JAB I had game. I wanted GMac to know I can make long shots too. Why doesn’t he know this?

He held his hands out expectedly. As in, throw it here weirdo.

My dream was fading fast. This red haired kid was intent on getting the ball back. I forced a smile. Tossed him the ball. Perfect pass, by the way.

And said to myself, I gotta find out the name of this cold hearted damned walk on who broke my jam and stole my moment.

Arthur Cordes. Maker of 3s. Breaker of dreams. Clearly, the player of the year for syracusefan.com this season.

Congrats AC, well deserved.

That's awesome. As I was doing this, I was thinking Arthur Kordes was the kid with the great hair. However, that turned out to be Niko Ruffin. Honest mistake as the walk-ons didn't get in a lot this season. Niko only played a total of two minutes over two games. And he never even attempted a three. One thing, however, was that I learned that Niko's parents are very famous in the Hip Hop world. His mom, a legendary DJ and rapper and his dad, a famous music producer and performer. And, even better news is that Arthur is a sophomore and Niko a freshman, so you will get a chance to have further interaction with young Mr. Cordes in the next two years.

Also, not to be confused with Nico, the famous muse of Andy Warhol and member of the Velvet Underground

Feel like it's an appropriate reference since Lou Reed is a Cuse grad

Edit - also many thanks to Cliftonpark for doing this every year. A nice distraction during a sad season
 
Woot woot! Can I have something written under my name now?

Also, thanks for not pointing out how ridiculously optimistic I was about this teams chances.

I take my Iggy with a grain of salt, and will continue to make the same mistake next year.
 
Woot woot!!
I’m the tallest midget in the worst season in Cuse history!!

Like the fan version of Arthur Cordes.

I humbly accept my Iggy’s, and like Homer Simpson will put them in a place of honor in my closet with the pile Emmy’s, Oscar’s, Tony’s, and People’s Choice Awards.
