Tis the season, college basketball is back! Syracuse is ready to sneak into the tournament as a bubble team and make a cinderella run. The Orange tip off their season this on November 9 against the Leopards of Lafayette. SU has a lot of new faces, but also some established veterans.
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:
