All great things must come to an end. That’s how it goes here at Orange Fizz. As I prepare to graduate in a couple weeks, my four-year Fizz career will pass me by. Unfortunately for me, everything lives forever on the internet. So I leave you with a compilation of the best (and worst) takes from my four years at the Fizz.
Think back to late February of 2021, when SU lost to Georgia Tech on the road in rather embarrassing fashion. The last line of this story: “Time to get out the binoculars and look for a center in the transfer portal”
What a weird year of Syracuse basketball this was. I thought Alan Griffin was going to be the next great Syracuse guard, and he got benched for Robert Braswell during the ACC Tourney.
This was bad, bemoaning the loss of a five-star recruit, but everyone in Syracuse was doing it at the time. Chances are, Dior Johnson coming to the Hill would’ve been a bigger mess than him decommiting as a high school sophomore.
I was convinced Patrick Tape would be an old-school, back-to-the-basket center who schooled people in the paint. He transferred to Duke, barely played for a year, then went to the University of San Francisco.
It’s been a heck of a ride covering all things SU. Go Orange.
