Tis the season! After a longggg, disappointing football campaign, we can finally switch sports because Syracuse Basketball is almost here. The Orange tip off their season this Friday against the Bulldogs of Bryant. SU has a lot of returning faces, but a couple new names that could have a big impact.
Before the season gets underway, we here at the Fizz wanted to hand out our Preseason Awards. Each staff member had their own ballot. Then, we tallied up the votes for an averaged-out group decision. Check them out below:
