OK. fans. It's that time of year again. The leaves are changing, the weather is getting cooler, the temperature of the football team has gotten cooler (but still lots of season to go). And, we have our first exhibition game next week. At University of Buffalo, but actually at Key Bank Arena, which just happens to be one of the first-round sites for the 2006 NCAAT. So, I guess it's possible that the season begins and ends in same location. Would some people see that as a victory or as a disappointment? We shall see, based on the predictions.
So, this is the 18th ANNUAL IGGY AWARDS. In the Hebrew tradition, 18 roughly translates to "Life". I think that is a good theme for this year's team. And we can start with our much-maligned coach. Will there be life after his original three-year deal. What will "Leaving Las Vegas" look like. Will the team show some signs of life. Will the team gel early in the season. We know there are a ton of new pieces and supposedly they are all working toward that ultimate goal.
So, for the 18th ANNUAL IGGY AWARDS, the IGGY COMMITTEE is not changing too much. However, there is a change in the schedule. Last year we had 20 regular season games, and this year it is switched to 18 (LIFE!!!). Thus, 13 out of conference games this season. EDITORS NOTE: The IGGY COMMITTEE understands that some people are disappointed with the OOC this season. The IGGY COMMITTEE does not agree with them. Three great games in Vegas, a visit to Philly and a home game vs a name SEC opponent is a pretty solid OOC schedule. The other eight home games are against a lot of 300+ opponents, but we feel the team will need to feel what it's like to win on its home court prior to the first ACC game on December 31st. The IGGY COMMITTEE does not approve of the ACC schedule, and would like to formally protest against any home mid-week 9 pm games, along with the Monmouth game.
The deadline for entries is Monday, November 3rd at noon. Good luck to everyone and may there be a coveted IGGY AWARD in your future. Here are the categories followed by last year's results.
1) ACC RECORD. We are scheduled for 18 regular season games.
2) OUT OF CONFERENCE RECORD. We are scheduled for thirteen out of conference games.
3) ACC TOURNAMENT RECORD. We could play anywhere from one to five games.
4) NCAA TOURNAMENT. First four play-in games do not count. If you do not feel we will make the NCAAT then put 0-0.
5) LEADING SCORER. List the player and average points per game.
6) LEADING REBOUNDER: List the players and rebounds per game.
7) WHO WILL MAKE THE MOST THREES THIS YEAR AND HOW MANY?
8) TIEBREAKER #1: WHAT SEED WILL SYRACUSE BE FOR THE ACC TOURNAMENT
RESULTS OF THE 17TH ANNUAL IGGY AWARDS. AND CONGRATS AGAIN TO THE WINNERS
1) ACC Record: 7-13
Absolutely no one saw this carnage coming. Except one miserable soul (just kidding!!!) who correctly predicted an ACC record of 7-13. So, congrats to Kirbivore on winning the 1st IGGY AWARD of 2025.
2) OUT OF CONFERENCE RECORD: 6-5
The closest anyone came to 6-5 was a couple people who picked 7-4. The IGGY AWARD COMMITTEE decided that because of the price of imports due to the additional tariffs being levied, the IGGY AWARD for Out Of Conference record will not be awarded this year.
3) ACC TOURNAMENT RECORD: 1-1
There was something like 27 people who picked 1-1. Nice job everyone, and you know who you are. Four of them also predicted 0-0 for the NCAA Tournament record (assuming we don't get a bid Sunday night-LOL). Three of the four also picked JJ to be the leading scorer, so the IGGY AWARD COMMITTEE went with the closest to his actual point per game total. The IGGY AWARD COMMITTEE is proud to award the next IGGY AWARD to Sutomcat. Congrats!!!
4) NCAA TOURNAMENT RECORD: 0-0
We can call this the John Belushi Award. 0-0 is no way to go through the college basketball tournament season. We had about 10 people who chose 0-0. Great job all of you for correctly predicting that number. They say one is the loneliest number, but I think 0-0 is, when all the good teams are dancing, and we are standing against the wall holding our xxxx. So, of the ten who predicted 0-0, we are going to tiebreaker #1 and the closest to the ACC Tournament Seed with a prediction of 13th, congratulations, and his second IGGY AWARD of the evening, goes to Kirbivore.
5) LEADING SCORER: JJ 17.8 PPG
A lot of people chose Chris Bell. That didn't happen. Unfortunately. The season might have gone a different direction is Bell had a good year. Of all the people who chose JJ, the closest with a prediction of 18.0 points per game, is Bomber Orange. Congrats!!!
6: LEADING REBOUNDER: EDDIE 9.6
Again, almost no one saw this coming. Yes, a bunch of people picked Eddie, but more people chose Donnie, who was actually leading at the halfway point, and I believe one person picked Naheem. Eddie had some big games, so he deserves the title. The closest anyone picked was 8.2, a full 1.4 rebounds less per game, but it still earns him an IGGY AWARD. So, congrats to Orlando Cuse for the winning prediction.
7) Most Threes: Chris Bell 47
If you want to talk about how bad a season an individual player or team had, we only need to look at Chris Bell. He went from a pretty good season last year, 84/200 from 3, 42% to this season of 47/133 for .353%. And played 5.5 less minutes per game. Everyone figured with Judah moving on, that Bell would be more featured on offense, but for many reasons, we know it didn't happen. Chris Bell happens to be my wife's favorite player, so in my house, there has been a lot of conversations surrounding Chris Bell.
So, most people predicted Chris Bell, but basically every prediction was between 90 and 122 made threes. Wow. But we had one person, who was the closest, pick 74. The IGGY AWARDS COMMITTEE found out that a reversed mirror number, like 47 and 74, actually stands for something in the spiritual world. Like an angel or a higher being is trying to send a message. So, I figure we have a lot to pray for, and if someone wants to send us a message, whether that you are going to take care of SWC, or fix all the problems in the world, and make next season a success, we will accept whatever help we can get.
So, the next IGGY AWARD, and his 2nd IGGY AWARD of 2025 goes to Bomber Orange. Congratulations!!!
The next two categories were both tiebreaker categories, so no IGGY AWARD will be given out. Let's just hope that our seed in the ACC Tournament next year is much better than this year's 14th and let's hope that Kiyan Anthony coming to Syracuse, along with Melo and La La, helps to jump start a program that needs a lot of different pieces right now.
