SWEET SURPRISE

Greek conduct violations released By Jordan Muller asst. news editor

TYUS BATTLE rises to fire what would be a clutch make for Syracuse with 47 seconds left in the game. Despite scoring one point in the first half, Battle poured in 16 in the second half to pace SU to a victory and Sweet 16 appearance.

ETROIT — It seemed like the end. Frank Howard walked down the court with his hands on his head as head coach Jim Boeheim verbally attacked any referee who would listen. Syracuse was down four against a team that had lost just four times all year. A team it couldn’t take the lead over for much of the afternoon. And now, it had to play without the last six and a half minutes without its 40-minute point guard, in an arena that was mostly pro-Michigan State, creating a quasi-road game. None of that mattered. In miraculous fashion, No. 11 seed Syracuse (23-13, 8-10 Atlantic Coast) defeated No. 3 seed Michigan State (30-5, 16-2 Big Ten), 55-53, on Sunday afternoon in Little Caesars Arena, once again on the back of its stellar defense. The Orange moves on to the Sweet 16, where it’ll have a matchup with No. 2 seed Duke. “It’s just the heart of this team,” sophomore guard Tyus Battle said. “It’s amazing.” For the third time in five days,

OSHAE BRISSETT was one of Syracuse’s primary offensive catalysts on Sunday, tallying 15 points in SU’s low-scoring smothering of Michigan State.

the Orange held a high-powered offense to less than 60 points. For the third time in five days, there were moments when it seemed like neither team would score. And again, for the third time in five days, Syracuse won. “These guys just keep going, they keep battling,” Boeheim said. “Frank fouls out, it doesn’t faze them. They just keep going.” Teams and players evolve throughout a season. Guard Geno Thorpe decided to leave the team and Howard Washington went down with an injury. Marek Dolezaj transformed from glue guy off the bench to starter who led SU in scoring in the Round of 64. At the beginning of the year, Boeheim constantly lamented Oshae Brissett’s shot selection. In March, Brissett was the go-to scorer down the stretch. But Syracuse’s style and game flow stayed the same throughout. The Orange was constantly stuck in close games. It could never fully pull away from weaker teams, like Iona to start the season or Pittsburgh twice in the ACC, despite winning those games. It hung around at Virginia and at home with North Carolina, but couldn’t get over the hump to beat either of those teams. And despite March being college basketball’s most unpredictable stretch, things weren’t going to see sweet

Earlier this year, Cornell University’s Omega Phi Beta sorority became one of the seven Greek organizations at the university disciplined for hazing during the 2016-17 academic year. Representatives of Omega Phi Beta’s national sorority, according to a university investigation, subjected Cornell’s new members to forced calisthenics, verbal abuse and eating and drinking restrictions, among other things. Another Greek organization held a contest they called a “pig roast,” where new members could earn “points” by having sex with women. The new member who had sex with the heaviest woman would win if there was a tie with another member, according to the website. Cornell releases detailed descriptions of hazing violations committed by student organizations, such as fraternities, sororities, athletic teams and music groups, in an effort “to overcome

Airport renovations could benefit economy By Bianca Moorman staff writer

The ongoing efforts to revitalize Syracuse Hancock International Airport will bring new economic opportunities to the city, an official from a Syracuse economic development agency said. The $48 million project, which will include the installation of a new facade, terminal flooring and furniture, an aviation museum, a glass pedestrian bridge and a new roof, started in October 2017 and is expected to completed by this fall. “We are very pleased to see that this investment and the key infrastructure for our community and for our region,” said Kevin Schwab, vice president of external affairs

and vice president of air service development at CenterState CEO. Schwab said the Syracuse airport applied for competitive funding through New York state and received $35.8 million. Having a new airport will benefit Syracuse, central New York and other upstate areas, Schwab said. “We have 2 million passengers a year that go through Hancock airport,” Schwab said. “The first impression that an airport makes says a lot about the community.” He said he hopes the new renovations will attract new businesses, prospective clients and families to the area. Allegiant Air, a discount airline, announced in March that it will offer direct non-stop service from

Syracuse to Orlando starting in May, according to Syracuse.com. Schwab also said the new renovations will bring more new flights to the area. Currently, some new flights include destinations such as Minneapolis and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Syracuse residents have mixed opinions on the airport renovations and what they could bring to the local community. Since the beginning of renovations, one of the airport’s terminals has been closed. “She’s going to get confused when she gets off, but hopefully when the renovations are done it is going to be a lot better than it should be,” said Richard Zack, a man who picked up his mother at the airport last week. Amie Lucia, a Syracuse resident,

said she’s excited about the renovations and they have not affected her travel plans. Charles Regal, a Hertz driver, said the renovations have made it harder for him to pick people up around the airport. Schwab, though, said improvements to the airport will have a positive economic impact on the region in the long term and improve utilization of airport space. “It is very important to the region when you have an airport, and the impression that it makes (is also important). Those that are bringing business to this region, it sends a message … it certainly encourages an additional investment,” Schwab said. bmooman@syr.edu

District expected to run $24 million deficit By Charlie Sawyer staff writer

As budget season kicks off, officials expect the Syracuse City School District to have a deficit of $24 million next year. The deficit has been as high as $40 million in the past, said Suzanne Slack, SCSD’s chief financial officer. “Each year, when we start the budget process, we roll over this year’s budget into next year,” she said. “We look at what it would cost to do business next year exactly the same way we did this year, if we don’t open a new school, add a new teacher or program.”

A Syracuse boy, 16, was arrested on three charges of criminal mischief in the fourth degree. when: March 16 at 7:43 p.m. where: Destiny USA

Moving forward, Slack said the district wants to slowly eliminate the entire deficit, over several years. To meet the deficit this year, Slack said the district plans to use $12 million from its savings and hopes to make up the rest of the gap from state funding. The remaining deficit will need to be offset by cutting costs internally, she said. The district will also use money from its reserves. If that’s not enough, the district will apply for more funding from the state or federal government. Due to collective bargaining requests from teachers and other staff members, the cost of doing

business will rise each year, adding to the deficit, Slack said.

We try to keep cuts as far away from the classroom as possible. Suzanne Slack

School Board Commissioner Katie Sojewicz said state representatives are always receptive to the needs of the community, but there’s too little money to go around to other

high-need districts in the state. “I never think it’s a matter of our local state reps not working hard for us, I really think they do,” Sojewicz said. “Across the state, everyone’s state representatives are fighting to get what they need.” Slack added that the district has not been able to go to the city for additional funding because the past few mayors and their administrations have been reluctant to raise taxes. One thing the district has done in the past few years, Slack said, is make use of a legislative mechanism called chapter one accrual. It allows the district to receive an

letter to the editor

Change in NY leadership will lead to greater reform Under the leadership of a succession of tepid governors hamstrung by their own ambitions for higher office, New York has lost the courageousness that once marked our politics. A fragile caucus in the State Senate and moneyed interests on State Street seem to prefer it this way — averse to the risks and thrills of the uncertainty and dynamism that gave us the Erie Canal, the State University of New York, the Niagara Power Project and the New York Thruway. New York’s subways, state parks and public schools were once the envy of the world. But today our roads crumble, our bridges are “functionally obsolete” and our trains can barely run on time. Much of our manufacturing industry has collapsed, our middle class was been priced out and our upstate New York cities have been brutalized by elitist economic policies that have destroyed them with the crushing burdens of an ever-growing government that we cannot afford. It’s time to reignite the New York we once knew — not with a bigger government, or more corporate welfare under the elusive guise of “economic development” — but with more liberty, more entrepreneurship and more justice for New Yorkers. It is in that spirit that I propose ending New York’s devastating prohibition on marijuana — a prohibition that unjustly targets and criminalizes communities of color, in a perverse manifestation of institutional racism. Instead, we should be cultivating good paying jobs and economic opportunities that benefit us all. Upon its enactment, the Marijuana Infrastructure Program (MIP), will bring to New York a tightly regulated and carefully crafted system that allows for the adult use of marijuana for New

Yorkers over the age of 21 years old — a responsible model for the rest of the country. A statewide cannabis excise tax of 13 percent, along with the 7 percent state and local sales tax, would generate $500 million annually. That new revenue will fund state bonding for badly needed investments in our roads, bridges and subway — allowing for $12.2 billion in the next generation of infrastructure improvements over five years. These infrastructure improvements are estimated to create more than 244,000 jobs over a seven-year period — putting 35,000 New Yorkers to work for seven years — in construction, among suppliers, and indirectly as a result of the spending’s multiplier effect on local economies. A fully mature adult use cannabis industry would range between $3 billion and $4 billion in sales annually, with an economic impact between $8 billion and $10 billion annually (including multiplier effects). On a permanent basis, this new industry will employ 20,000 to 25,000 people, with an additional 10,000 to 15,000 jobs created indirectly or induced. The initial build out of the industry — including growing, processing, distribution and retail venues — is projected to create 5,000 additional jobs in construction. Upon the enactment of this regulation, I will ensure — if need be, by the power of the pardon — that all non-violent marijuana convictions are expunged and all individuals currently incarcerated for non-violent marijuana crimes are released as immediately as is practicable. I’m Joel Giambra, and I’m running for governor to reform New York.

editorial board

Conduct violations require accountability The Daily Orange Editorial Board commends Syracuse University for publishing recognized Greek organizations’ standing in regard to conduct violations online. But like its peer institution Cornell University, SU should also include specific reasons behind penalizations with the standings. SU’s Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs currently posts online the designations of chapters under warning, disciplinary reprimand, disciplinary probation, social probation, interim suspension, indefinite suspension and expulsion statuses. Per SU’s website, the designations, which are determined by the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, allow students to reflect on behaviors that violate the university’s Code of Student Conduct. Of SU’s 16 peer institutions, four — Cornell, Lehigh University, American University and Southern Methodist University — include information surrounding the organizations’ standing with the university. Of the institutions, Cornell’s database in the most proactive measure to shed light on hazing practices. Each incident associated with the seven fraternity and sorority violations that took place during

Cornell’s spring 2017 semester includes a detailed description of the violation and outcome of the university’s review. For example, one violation description on the website includes, “During the new member period, older members provided excessive amounts of alcohol to underage new members at a private residence. As a result, one new member was transported to the local hospital for alcohol poisoning.” When asked why SU doesn’t go into more detail with its Greek organizations’ standings, a university spokesperson said in an email: “Because some of these violations can be sensitive in nature, one-to-one communication as it relates to the specificity of the violation is the most appropriate way to ensure the privacy of the students impacted.” But during the 2017-18 academic year alone, SU has confirmed that it has disciplined two fraternities for hazing violations, and has three on probation, two on disciplinary reprimand and one under investigation, respectively. Greek life is a major sector of student life at SU and a significant marketing tool for the university. If the university is going to host Greek life,

organizations must be held accountable for violations against students’ physical and emotional wellbeing to prevent further incidents. Although SU is posting violations online, it should provide more detailed information on organizations’ violations of the Code of Student Conduct so students can make informed decisions about their personal safety, their social lives and the organizations they affiliate themselves with. If SU doesn’t make this information available, The Daily Orange will work to create a database of conduct violations to serve SU’s student, parent and alumni communities. But the editorial board hopes SU will join Cornell in setting a cultural standard by valuing accountability, safety and transparency in a way that protects students’ privacy in situations that can have life-ordeath consequences.

The Daily Orange Editorial Board serves as the voice of the organization and aims to contribute the perspectives of students to discussions that concern Syracuse University and the greater Syracuse community. The editorial board’s stances are determined by a majority of its members.

violations secrecy and to help prospective members know about a group’s history of hazing,” according to its website. The decision to publicly disclose that information is rare among Syracuse University’s peer institutions — the 16 universities SU chooses to compare itself to. Universities and Greek organizations nationwide have come under increasing scrutiny in their handling of hazing violations in the wake of four fraternity pledge deaths in 2017. SU only began publicly listing limited information on Greek conduct violations this semester. Two fraternities at SU, Delta Tau Delta and Delta Kappa Epsilon, have been disciplined for hazing violations during the 2017-18 academic year. DTD was suspended in fall 2017 and DKE was placed on probation in January. SU goes further than most if its peer institutions in releasing even brief information related from page 1

Pati said there will be a pre-departure meeting for students to discuss the buses and plans for the march. Buses will leave Syracuse at 2:30 a.m. Saturday, Pati said. That will allow students to get into Washington, D.C. early, she added. Buses will leave the city at 7 p.m. Saturday. While SA is funding the buses, as an organization, it does not have an official stance on the

to Greek conduct violations. Of the 16 peer institutions, only four in addition to SU — Cornell, Lehigh University, American University and Southern Methodist University — disclose any details of conduct violations on their websites. Cornell releases detailed descriptions on hazing violations. Lehigh and AU release summaries of conduct violations committed by Greek organizations. SMU releases chapter statuses that include a brief, one-word explanation about why an organization was disciplined. SU, on the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs website, releases information on whether a Greek organization is in good standing with the university, being disciplined, being investigated or suspended for Student Code of Conduct violations. It also currently lists the eight fraternities currently banned from operating at the university. At SU, three fraternities are on probation, two on “disciplinary reprimand” and one is under investigation. The length of the disciplinary periods are publicly posted on the FASA website, but the nature of the conduct march, Pati said. “Student Association specifically is not releasing their opinion on this specific issue,” Pati said. “We’re just supporting students in what they want to be passionate about, and what they want to voice.” SA will also be sponsoring shuttles to a March For Our Lives “sister” event in downtown Syracuse. Details on that sponsorship are still not official, but Pati said there will be two shuttles leaving SU for downtown at 11 a.m. and two leaving at 11:30 a.m. She said SA members hope to take 240 students downtown for the local demonstration. The organization will also be partnering with the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, SUNY-ESF and Democracy Matters to send members of those groups to the march in Washington, D.C., Pati said. “We basically just (funded the buses) because students reached out and they really wanted this. And we want to be there for students,” Pati said. ccleffer@syr.edu | @ccleffert

violations for most organizations is unknown. “Because some of these violations can be sensitive in nature, one-to-one communication as it relates to the specificity of the violation is the most appropriate way to ensure the privacy of the students impacted,” an SU spokeswoman said in an email Sunday. The Daily Orange only confirmed that DTD and DKE were disciplined for hazing after asking university or fraternity officials. Alpha Epsilon Pi, the second SU fraternity suspended during the 2017-18 academic year, is publicly listed on the FASA website as an organization not recognized by SU. The details of AEPi’s suspension are unknown, other than that the fraternity’s conduct threatened a student’s safety during the new member process. The violation, though, was not hazing. According to FASA’s website, the following fraternities have been disciplined for code of conduct violations: • DKE is on disciplinary probation through December 2019, and social probation through December 2018, for conduct violafrom page 3

deficit advance of state funds from the upcoming year to fund its current budget. “Each (school) ramped up that accrual over three years to the maximum of about $31.7 million,” Slack said. “The state legislation allowed us to do that, so that was a huge help from them.” Sojewicz said a community organization called Uplift Syracuse this year spearheaded a postcard- and letter-writing campaign, in which residents of both Syracuse and Onondaga County came together to advocate for more resources for the school district. “So often, we’re in our little siloes as school districts,” Sojewicz said. She added that it was exciting to see that county residents understand the school district’s need for more resources. Uplift Syracuse also invited SCSD Superintendent Jaime Alicea and Slack

tions related to hazing. • The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity is on disciplinary probation through March 2019, and on social probation through May 2018. The nature of the conduct violations is currently unclear. • The Sigma Chi fraternity is on disciplinary reprimand through September 2018. The nature of the conduct violations is currently unclear. • The Zeta Beta Tau fraternity is on disciplinary reprimand through December 2018. The nature of the conduct violations is currently unclear. • The Psi Upsilon fraternity is on disciplinary reprimand through October 2018, and social probation through May 2018. The nature of the conduct violations is currently unclear. An investigation into hazing at the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity was opened in December 2017, according to Department of Public Safety crime logs. jmulle01@syr.edu | @jordanmuller18

to open community meetings to educate residents about why operating costs for the district continue to rise and how they can help. The board of education also negotiated with health insurance providers to allow employees of the district to keep their current plans, Slack said. More costs were offset by the providers, she added, which saved the district about $4 million. “We try to keep cuts as far away from the classroom as possible,” Slack said. She added that the cuts mostly come from miscellaneous supplies or professional contracts. The district’s goal is to work slowly over several years to completely eliminate the deficit, Slack said. “Education is so important,” Sojewicz said. “Unless we really address what our students need in the school district, we won’t be able to fully reach our potential as a community, as a city and as a county.”

Townhouse Warrior to release 3rd album By Mateo Estling staff writer

On Sunday, hundreds took part in central New York’s Irish Road Bowling event along the shores of Onondaga Lake. Participants had to roll a 28-ounce cannonball for 2 miles along a straight path, and the team who did so in the fewest throws was the winner.

n a clear Sunday morning, teams of four rolled 28-ounce cannonballs along a 2-mile path off the shores of Onondaga Lake. The teams were taking part in an annual Syracuse tradition: the Irish Road Bowling event, hosted by Onondaga County Parks and the Friends of Historic Onondaga Lake. At the Road Bowling event, which has happened for the past nine years, teams roll the cannonball to the end of a snowbank-lined path and compete to see who can do so with the fewest amount of throws. Joe Ostuni, president of the Friends of Historic Onondaga Lake, said the organization started the event as a way to “break the cabin fever” and bring people to Onondaga Lake during the underserved winter season. Specifically, he added, bowling seemed like the kind of activity that could make use of the trail and build some team spirit. Ostuni said that, during the event’s first couple years, about 50 teams participated. Momentum has

The event brings Irish spirit to the area. Teams can order Irish Bloody Marys and corned beef at local restaurants after crossing the finish line.

Having a band composed of four artists that all have different musical tastes and influences may seem like a recipe for disaster. For the members of Syracuse pop-punk band Townhouse Warrior, this dynamic has not only worked, but helped them evolve their sound and create their upcoming album “Words, Unsaid,” which will be released Tuesday. Townhouse Warrior is made up of Zack Fitzgerald, Tim Hall, Kyle Malfa and Josh Rivet. Fitzgerald – the group’s lead vocalist, backup guitarist and songwriter – described the group’s varying interests. “I like old school pop-punk, Kyle likes newer pop-punk stuff … and then we have Josh who likes death metal,” he said. Hall, the group’s lead guitarist and a backup singer, said he draws a lot of inspiration from ‘90s alternative music and early 2000s bands from when he was in high school. Hall is also the recording engineer for the record. The band was formed when Fitzgerald met drummer Malfa in the local grocery store that they used to work at in the summer of 2014. At that time, Fitzgerald was a novice. “Before Townhouse Warrior, I had no experience playing in bands or anything,” Fitzgerald said. “I would write songs because I enjoyed writing songs.” Then he met Malfa. The two would hang out and Malfa wrote drums to Fitzgerald’s lyrics. They were just playing music as friends for fun, Fitzgerald said. It was the two of them, until they met their bassist Rivet at a friend’s house. “I was like ‘Hey, would you like to play bass for my punk rock band?’ and he said no, just straight up no,” Fitzgerald said. “I asked him again three weeks later, and eventually Josh said ‘Sure, I’ll give this a try,’ and here we are.” The band went through the first two albums, “Seriously, I Don’t Mind” and “For Every Wasted Day,” before Hall joined the band. Hall said the band had gone through a few guitar players before he became a member. He met Fitzgerald in 2016, and Fitzgerald asked him to join the band multiple times before he agreed. “I was like, ‘All right I’ll give it a shot, because I really like these guys,’” Hall said. “I did sound for them at a couple shows, and it seemed like the camaraderie was there, so I joined, and I’ve been in the band for a little over a year.” It was with this new setup that Townhouse Warrior produced their newest album, which they recorded from January to October of last year. “Townhouse Warrior’s second see album page 10

bowling built — this year, 106 teams took part in the event. Proceeds go to Friends of Historic Onondaga Lake, which in turn creates projects that support Onondaga Lake Park. Theresa Earl has been participating in Irish Bowling for about six years. Three of the four members of her team — which is named R.P. McMurphy after the protagonist in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” — went to high school together. All the team members were dressed in shades of green. Even though her team hasn’t won yet, Earl isn’t concerned. She just enjoys participating,

and added that the event “brings us all together.” Lisa Weaver participated in the event both this year and last. “It was 20 below zero, and the wind was blowing, and we spent the whole time huddling together, but it was fun,” Lisa Weaver said of the 2017 event. This year, Weaver’s team was composed of old neighbors. She said her favorite part about the activity is spending time outside with friends during winter. Not only does Irish Road Bowling bring camaraderie to the area, but it also helps with tourism because participants often spend time at local shops and restaurants after the event, Weaver said. Some of the teams had coordinating outfits.

Dennis Sawyer, Paul and Patti White and Tim Sewall all donned green hats decorated with shamrocks and light-up green strings. Sawyer credits “the luck of the Irish” for bringing the team together, and they’ve been participating for the past eight years. Patti, the team’s captain, said even though they’ve never won the rolling part of the event, they always win the ball decorating contest that happens prior to the start of the bowling. “We never win the bowling. We’re artists, we’re not Neanderthal athletes,” Sewall said, and the entire team laughed. After they cross the finish line, participants can head to local bars to drink Irish Bloody Marys and eat corned beef and cabbage. This

year, food was provided by Limp Lizard Bar & Grill. Irish Road Bowling was one way for Syracuse community members to participate in St. Patrick’s Day festivities. The actual holiday is celebrated on March 17, and the 36th annual Syracuse St. Patrick’s Day Parade took place that Saturday afternoon. With the theme “Dublin Down in the Emerald City,” the parade featured local Irish dance schools, floats from community organizations and decorated vehicles. As team R.P. McMurphy wrapped up the course with 35 throws and headed past the finish line, Earl said: “I can’t believe it’s over, I want to go back.” ssiyer@syr.edu

album record was very slow and stripped down and raw,” Hall said. “The first one was a little bit pop-punk, and it had a big sound to it … the third one, overall, is real tight.” Even after the first album was completed, the band still hadn’t figured out their sound, Fitzgerald said. The second album was closer, but not entirely there. He said the band’s third album is a culminating evolution, mixing together the things they got right on their first two albums. It’s this confidence in their newest release that made the members of Townhouse Warrior want to get the word out about their sound. “We’re taking a more formidable approach when it comes to getting it out there,” Hall said. “We’re utilizing (social media), and it really works. I think people are going to be really excited about this.” The album will be released on all platforms on Tuesday. A release show for the record will take place May 5 at Sharkey’s Bar and Grill in Liverpool. “I think (the albums) are all so different, and we are still in the process of finding our collective sound,” Fitzgerald said. “I think in this third one we pretty much found it, and the future is just expanding on it.” mtestlin@syr.edu

Taste of the tropics Caribbean restaurant Mr. Bigg’s to open on N. Salina Street Story and photos by Adam Lehner staff writer

tudents are returning to the Hill from tropical locations post-spring break, sporting fresh tans and sunburns. But those who spent the week away from warm weather don’t have to feel left out. A little tropical spice will arrive to the village of North Syracuse on Friday. Mr. Bigg’s Restaurant, an authentic Caribbean eatery on North Salina Street, opens its doors at 11 a.m. Friday. During the grand opening, the first 50 people at the door will receive a free meal gift certificate for use on their next visit. The eatery will operate as delivery/take-out only, catering to the area’s student-centric demographic. Their dishes can be ordered through popular online platforms like Grubhub and Uber Eats. Edirin Igho-Akiti operated Caribbean restaurants of the same name in northern New York for the last few years before deciding to relocate to Syracuse. He attributed the decision to the diverse, robust market and feedback from locals who ate at his Watertown location. “Eddy,” as his friends call him, spent the first 12 years of his life in Nigeria, his father’s birthplace. He lived on the eastern Caribbean island of St. Lucia, his mother’s native land, for the next four years. This is where Igho-Akiti learned the majority of his cooking abilities, observing his mother’s expertise around food. “When all my other siblings were playing outside, I was always with my mom in the kitchen or at her Caribbean restaurant,” Igho-Akiti recalled. “My mother and a good friend of mine taught me all the secrets of good Caribbean food – with great flavor and spice.” Igho-Akiti brought these secrets to Watertown, where in 2014, he opened his first restaurant in the Salmon Run Mall. “Eddy’s Caribbean Cuisine” was well-received and a group of loyal customers emerged quickly, convincing the owner to expand to a permanent location downtown. “His uniqueness was obvious and caught the public’s attention immediately,” said Gainslee Raymond, a longtime customer. “(Eddy) was the only one to offer that type of cuisine around Watertown.” His success continued, and after a few months downtown, Igho-Akiti moved the restaurant to a larger spot around the corner. He changed the name to Mr. Bigg’s to accompany the increase in size. The restaurant’s cuisine became popular among soldiers stationed at Fort Drum, a U.S. Army military reservation just outside of Watertown in Jefferson County. Michael Ademeso, a retired military personnel, remembers having lunch daily at Mr. Bigg’s. “My friends in the military always looked forward to grabbing some lunch at his restaurant,” he said. “(Eddy’s) meals are quite unique with a little touch of African, Caribbean and Jamaican style put together.” Spices are critical to generating the food’s flavor, Igho-Akiti said. Mr. Bigg’s Restaurant’s Instagram states that “prepping and consistent, accurate seasoning is the most important step in any Caribbean food.”

Mr. Bigg’s opens its doors at 11 a.m. Friday. The restaurant will operate as delivery and take-out only, and food can be ordered through various outlets including Grubhub and Uber Eats.

EDIRIN IGHO-AKITI, owner of Mr. Bigg’s, learned most of his cooking skills when he lived on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia for four years with his mother.

Like the restaurant’s meals, Igho-Akiti said that Caribbean food itself is a conglomeration of influence. Tessa Murphy, an assistant professor of history at Syracuse University, echoed that statement. “Many of the foods that are now considered ‘Caribbean mainstays’ first came to the islands as a result of the Columbian exchange — plantains are from Southeast Asia; oxen and poultry are from Eurasia,” said Murphy via email. “So the emergence of a distinctively ‘St. Lucian’ cuisine might be seen to reflect this mixing of cultures.” The diverse entrees on the menu include jerk chicken, curry pork and oxtail, each served alongside sweet plantains, mixed veggies and a choice of rice. Spicy jerk chicken seems to be the consensus favorite among Ademoso and his fellow customers. “For me, jerk chicken and rice — I would pay $50 for those if I had to.” Luckily, everything on the menu can be purchased for $12 or less. Chicken wings — an ode to the city of Buffalo,

where Igho-Akiti earned his MBA — also capture the true zest of Caribbean cuisine. “Henny Jerk wings” and Friday fish fries are a few of the specials offered. After focusing on a successful opening, Mr. Bigg’s plans to launch a food truck called “The Caribbean King,” a title even Jack Sparrow would appreciate. The truck would make stops across upstate New York in the coming months. During “hospitality runs” each Monday, local businesses can feel the love as the restaurant delivers them free food “as a thank you.” Interested businesses can contact Mr. Bigg’s by phone at 315-299-5588 or email at mymrbiggs@gmail.com. Mr. Bigg’s hopes to make an impact that transcends their cuisine. “I think what makes us stand out is our humility and core values: customers first and quality 100 percent, while staying true to the tradition and culture of the cuisine,” Igho-Akiti said. “At Mr. Bigg’s Restaurant, we treat all of our customers like family.” aglehner@syr.edu

harder when Howard fouled out. One of Syracuse’s big three was out and the Orange was still down four. “Me and Tyus just looked at each other and said, ‘We’re not going to let this game slip out of our fingers,’” Oshae Brissett, SU’s second-leading scorer, said. “We knew that this game was going to fall on us.” Battle, along with teammates Marek Dolezaj and Bourama Sidibe, picked up more points at the line for the Orange. That, combined with Oshae Brissett’s tough layup and stellar defense, helped give SU the lead. But the game was still in the balance. And

battle settled for tough jump shots and was short on a few. He started taking the ball toward the rim more in the second half. With about seven minutes left, Battle had the ball on the left wing, with the Syracuse support section right behind him. Former Syracuse star Derrick Coleman, who is second on Syracuse’s all-time scoring list, stood up from his seat and yelled, “They can’t take you Tyus, they can’t take you.” Shortly after, Battle’s job would get even from page 1

effect, instead doubling down on the grindit-out approach it used all season. It kept the clamps on Michigan State, giving up just one field goal after Howard’s departure. “We just kept battling,” Howard said. “We knew they were going to punch us in the side a lot … we just fought down the stretch and we came up when we needed to.” The Spartans out-rebounded the Orange by 21. Syracuse had to fight for every possession it did get, like when Oshae Brissett skied up to try and get a defensive rebound over two MSU players, fell out of bounds and threw it off a player’s legs. Slowly, Syracuse managed to close the gap. Bourama Sidibe and Marek Dolezaj got fouled jockeying for position on the glass and made four-of-six between the two of them. Battle added two more from the line. Brissett threw in an acrobatic layup that rattled the rim before falling. None of this was all that new, though. The Orange had hung with the titans of college basketball. This game was different. Battle, who had struggled all night, knocked down a jumper from the free-throw line with 47 seconds left. The two teams exchanged free throws, but MSU couldn’t make shots in the face of Syracuse’s stingy zone. “We’ve got a lot of fighters and a lot of talent,” Howard said, “… and with that combination, I think we can come up with some wins.”

sweet 16 stretch, things weren’t going to change. Syracuse won its first two NCAA Tournament games, against Arizona State and TCU, by nine points combined. There wasn’t a double-digit lead held by any of the teams in either of the games. The Orange scratched and clawed for points, suffocated its opponents defensively and scraped by with wins. Those teams were good teams, comparable to Syracuse. Michigan State was like Duke, Virginia and North Carolina — a Top 10 team in both the AP polls and in Kenpom. com’s season rankings that was sitting on the same hump that the Orange just couldn’t get over. “We’ve just been fighting an entire year,” Battle said. “We’re constantly trying to prove ourselves in this Tournament.” Howard’s departure all happened quickly — he picked up back-to-back foul calls on rebounds, and then a few minutes later, picked up two more back-to-back fouls and was disqualified. Off the bench hopped Braedon Bayer, playing his first significant minutes in about a month. Syracuse still hadn’t led once in the second half. It faced the daunting task of reclaiming it with a former walk-on in place of one of its big three. The Orange refused to let that have an

to win, Syracuse still needed a bit more. And it needed it to come from Battle. With the clock ticking down under a minute and Syracuse up just one, Battle had the ball. He knew that Michigan State would try and pack the middle and stop his driving lanes. The Spartans knew he was going to shoot the ball. And as he’s done all year long, Battle made the clutch shot for Syracuse — a midrange jumper with 47 seconds to go to open up the three-point cushion SU needed. “I’m not worried about the first defender. I know I can beat him any time I want,” Battle said. “Once I went left, I saw he was with me a

little bit, so I did a little step back just to clear space, and I didn’t get too deep, and I was open for a shot.” Against a weaker TCU team, the Orange was able to scrap by without its star player. That wouldn’t work against the Spartans. And not without Howard there to back him up. It took him a while, but Battle delivered. “With Frank out he’s going to have the ball and we’re going to go with what he can do,” Boeheim said. “And he made all the big plays in the second half.” tdlanger@syr.edu | @tomer_langer

Graham: Syracuse’s season was a predestined learning curve

TARKVILLE, Miss. — During Media Day in October, before SU had played a game, head coach Quentin Hillsman was questioned repeatedly about his team’s youth. He had a similar answer every time. “We’re a very young basketball team,” Hillsman said on Oct. 20. “But I’m very excited for this season.” Hillsman knew on Media Day what everyone knows now: Syracuse was talented and pretty deep, but ultimately this season was a predestined learning curve. At times, SU shone, like when Tiana Mangakahia and Miranda Drummond scored 44 and 38, respectively, in back-to-back games, including an upset of then-No. 11 Florida State. But in the moments that mattered most, against top-tier teams and most recently against Oklahoma State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the Orange needed an offensive spark or defensive stand that never materialized. Help never came and the Cowgirls ended the Orange’s (22-9, 10-6 Atlantic Coast) season in the Round of 64. The loss to OSU highlighted the underlying truth to SU’s season: The Orange was always a team trying to find itself, trying to mesh. With an eight-player rotation of five transfers, two freshmen and one returner, everything the Orange did this year was a plus because Syracuse was a year away from where wants to be. from page 16

rutgers came up empty-handed, constantly giving the ball back to RU which eventually scored to take the lead for the second time all game. “Offensively, we did OK in the first half,” SU head coach John Desko said, “and in the second half, we were behind and felt we had to catch up so we forced a lot of things. Anytime you’re forcing things and trying to catch up, you’re going to get turnovers.” Syracuse junior attack Nate Solomon followed up a Rutgers run with back-to-back goals to regain the lead for SU. But right after his second goal, Heningburg intercepted a pass off the ensuing faceoff. He found himself alone with only goalie Dom Madonna to beat, which he did with ease. Then, after winning

“But what a great experience for our team,” Hillsman said after SU’s loss Saturday, “and we’re all coming back.” The cupboards weren’t bare — SU had the talent to hold its own in the ACC and pull off two Top-25 upsets — but ultimately there wasn’t enough. This became clear when SU ran into the elites of women’s college basketball: Mississippi State, Notre Dame and Louisville. The Orange hung with those teams but couldn’t topple any of them. Syracuse had chances against those powerhouses, but a few late plays were enough for the favorite to stiff-arm SU. Those handful of plays kept Syracuse from being the top-tier team it wants to be. But this season, with this team, that’s fine. Next year, experiences this time around may be the difference in pulling a Top 10 upset. “It’s hard to say right now how we will be next year,” Drummond said. “Yeah, I think we’ll be good.” It became clear that this season wouldn’t be a rebuild, but it wasn’t a reload either. It was something in between, a re-tuning, perhaps.

Still, the accomplishments are impressive. Syracuse raced out to an 11-0 start, upset then-No. 11 Florida State and then-No. 17 Duke and closed the regular season on a fivegame winning streak. All told, the Orange piled up 22 wins and 10 of those came in arguably the best conference in the country. For a team that graduated two of the best players in the history of its program and started one player with game experience at SU prior to this season — Cooper, a sophomore who wasn’t, and still isn’t, the top scoring option — that’s an admirable showing. “At the end of the day, we have a very young team,” Hillsman said. “… that headed to the NCAA Tournament and competed like crazy all year long.” And realistically, the Orange is going to be better next year. Beyond all five starters returning, several players on Syracuse’s current roster will work into the fold. Maeva Djaldi-Tabdi and Marie-Paule Foppossi, two French freshman forwards who redshirted this season, should turn a thin frontcourt into a deep stable of bigs, SU coaches said. Ohio State transfer guard Kiara Lewis will run, press and shoot 3s in Syracuse’s scheme. A brand-new infusion of talent is coming, too, as Syracuse brings in a Top 10 recruiting class for the second-straight season. This time around it’ll be Kadiatou Sissoko and

Emily Engstler, the No. 10 and No. 11 recruits in the 2018 class, respectively, boosting an already-stacked lineup. Next fall, SU will have an experienced group of returning starters and potentially a seven- or eight-deep bench featuring at least six former five-star recruits. “Next year will be a lot different,” Mangakahia said Saturday. “We’re returning so we know the system already, we’ve played in the program for a year. … I think it’ll be better.” Help is on the way. And Hillsman knew that all along. Although his goals never waver — he wants to go undefeated and win a national championship and said as much after Saturday’s loss — this year’s team wasn’t going to do that. But what this year’s team did is set the table for the fall. It won 20-plus games. It saw a group of 11 new players experience the ups and downs of a grueling nonconference and ACC slate. It played in the NCAA Tournament. “This is our sixth-straight tournament,” Hillsman said. “Program is headed in the right direction. I’m really happy with where we are.” So if and when all the pieces come into place next season, Hillsman should be excited to coach a talented and experienced team.

the next faceoff, Heningburg scored his fourth goal of the day to give Rutgers the lead back. Again, turnovers shifted the momentum from in the Orange’s favor to against it. The next possession, Solomon turned the ball over. Nearly a minute-and-a-half later, Christian Mazzone found the back of the net. Mazzone’s goal was the third of seven straight Rutgers goals that spanned the end of the third quarter and most of the fourth. In that 7-0 run, when Syracuse’s offense held possession, a turnover or save from goalie Max Edelmann gave Rutgers a running start in transition. The Scarlet Knights seized the opportunity with Heningburg leading the charge with four goals in that seven-goal run. “Today when we lost our composure a little bit, they jumped on us,” Desko said. “… We can’t play that way.”

The Orange began scrambling in the fourth quarter as Rutgers’ lead widened. Syracuse began forcing passes and taking shots while defended tightly. Two man-up opportunities ended in turnovers. Multiple long passes on clear attempts ended up in a Rutgers stick. Players tried going 1-on-1 on the Scarlet Knights defenders, but nothing would come out of it. Syracuse finished the fourth quarter on a cold streak, playing more than 17 minutes without a single goal. It committed seven turnovers in the final frame and while the Orange would score with just 1:20 left, and again 17 seconds later, the damage had been done. “Something that I’ve noticed is that in the past few games are we enter this panic mode when we go down by two goals,” sophomore faceoff specialist Danny Varello said, “and start trying to force

balls and do things we’re not usually good at.” After winning the ensuing faceoff and trailing by four with a minute to play, Syracuse turned the ball over yet again. It was a common theme for the Orange: as momentum shifted, turnovers stopped any chances at a full-fledged comeback. A week after being embarrassed by Johns Hopkins in the Carrier Dome, Syracuse had an opportunity to bounce back and win its third ranked game of the year. But that same turnover-prone offense that left the Dome traveled to Piscataway, and Rutgers exploited it. “Getting pushed out of our comfort zone is probably the biggest threat to us,” Varello said. On Sunday, Syracuse was far from comfortable yet again, unable to crawl out of another weak offensive performance.

bayer and forced two jump balls over the final six minutes of the game, preserving the Orange’s season and setting up a matchup with No. 2 seed Duke on Friday in Omaha, Nebraska. “To be put in that position, to stay focused and keep this team going, that was phenomenal,” Syracuse associate head coach Adrian Autry said. “He had an unbelievable hustle play at the end not to five up two points and help us win.” With Syracuse up 50-49 and 1:38 locked on the clock, Bayer darted to the low block and met Bridges at full speed. He got a hand on MSU’s star, who scored 11 points. The Syracuse sideline erupted in unison. Then, Bayer stole the ball from Joshua Langford after a missed tip-in with eight seconds left. All the while, he altered a pair of shots at the top of Syracuse’s 2-3 zone alongside sophomore guard Tyus Battle, who led the Orange with 17 points. Bayer, for all the minutes he sat on the bench and didn’t come in, shined in the biggest moments of Syracuse’s season. Out in Phoenix, Bayer’s father was at a conference for the wealth management firm he founded. He was alongside his wife, Crystal, with about 35 other people at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. Downstairs, at Frank & Albert’s bar, Bayer’s parents watched the game from a TV. When Howard was called with his fourth foul, they looked at each other to confirm the situation: Braedon may just go in the game. The possibility that he would play grew closer and closer to reality. The Bayers jumped up from their seats when head coach Jim Boeheim motioned for him to run to the scorer’s table, Greg Bayer said in a brief phone conversation after the

game. Howard Washington, Syracuse’s freshman guard out for the year due to an injury, walked up to Bayer before he walked on the court. In a way, Washington said that he could relate to Bayer. Before his injury, Washington was similarly riding the bench for the majority of games as his superiors, Battle and Howard, carried SU offensively. So Washington put his arms around Bayer.

“You’ve been preparing for this, practicing all year for this,” Washington told Bayer during the embrace. “Go in there, take your time, play your game, play hard.” “And that block at the end?” Washington added postgame. “He’s made that play all of the time in practice. The ‘stay ready’ thing, coach (Boeheim) would say it every game and (Bayer) wouldn’t get in. Braedon was kind of like, ‘Well,

coach is just saying this.’ But he brought it every day in practice and was huge today.” An hour after the final horn sounded, Bayer’s father looked back on his son’s rise to this stage, from overlooked high school player to Division III standout to a walk-on for a Power 5 team, to SU’s last scholarship player. To Syracuse late-game contributor. “Braedon came in, hadn’t played much the entire year, stepped up and played some great defense,” Battle said. “And it’s just the heart of this team. It’s amazing. It’s amazing.” Two years ago, Bayer watched Syracuse’s Final Four run from his bed in his South Campus apartment. Before that, he worked out every day at 6 a.m. for six weeks with former SU star and NBA draft pick Tyler Lydon and Autry. He was sleeping on Lydon’s couch because he had nowhere else to stay. He wanted to play at Syracuse after a season and a half at D-III Grinnell College. By that May, Lydon told former Syracuse assistant coach Mike Hopkins that Bayer “wasn’t just going to be a typical walk-on that’s just on the team. He said I could actually help,” Bayer recalled. Hopkins trusted Lydon’s word and didn’t ask for a second of film. In the summer of 2016, Boeheim nonchalantly told Hopkins and Lydon that Bayer had earned a spot on the team as a walk-on. On Sunday, he was called on in place of Howard, the second-most improved player in the ACC this season. After the game, Bayer was the one to place Syracuse’s sticker on its portable bracket, with the whole team rallying around him. “Now it’s kind of sinking in,” Bayer said. “I never thought I’d be playing in this stage at all. Just thought I’d be watching it from the bench. “I’ve worked my whole life for this.” mguti100@syr.edu | @MatthewGut21

Syracuse drops final match, falls 4-3 to Wake Forest By KJ Edelman staff writer

The score was tied three-apiece. On one side of the courts, the crowd of nearly 50 people at Drumlins Country Club was silent. On the other, players from No. 39 Syracuse and No. 16 Wake Forest were shouting. The match came down to a third-set tiebreaker between SU’s Miranda Ramirez and WFU’s No. 88 Eliza Omirou. The score was 7-6 in favor of Omirou. Seven shots into the point, Ramirez floated a ball into the left corner. It missed the line. The right side of the Drumlins benches, filled with visiting players and coaches, was euphoric. The left side, which featured coaches, families and SU fans, was in shock after spending nearly three hours waiting for an outcome. “We all play for that spotlight moment,” Ramirez said, After leading Wake Forest three to two, Syracuse (11-3, 3-3 Atlantic Coast) dropped its last two points against WFU (14-4, 3-2) to end its home winning streak of seven. SU’s No. 17 doubles pairing of Gabriela Knutson and Ramirez dropped their fourth-straight doubles match. A loss at third doubles gave WFU the doubles point. No. 11 Knutson dominated her first set, 6-0, against No. 36 Emma Davis with strong serves and control with her forehand. After losing the second set and going down 4-5 in the third set, Knutson spoke with associate head coach Shelley George. George told her to “lock in and assert her dominance,” and then Knutson rattled off eight-straight games.

“I knew if I was going to lose it would be me beating myself instead of her beating me,” Knutson said. After three singles wins and two singles losses, a Syracuse victory would come down to Ramirez. Though she was winning the first set, Ramirez wasn’t pleased with some of the calls the umpires were giving her, she said. Up 4-2, the umpire called a ball out of bounds against Ramirez, resulting in volunteer assistant coach Len Lopoo arguing with the umpire. In the second set, Ramirez and Lopoo became infuriated when another officiating decision. “I earned those points and I felt like they were taken away from me for no reason,” Ramirez said. Down 6-5 in the third set, the crowd centered its attention on the match after Mesh lost. Ramirez knew it was all her. “I looked at it as pressure,” Ramirez said, “... It’s what I want.” Up 40-30, Ramirez sliced a ball with her forehand into the left corner to force a third set tiebreaker. Ramirez opened the tiebreak aggressively and led 4-2. After overshooting her target and missing a couple of corners, Ramirez fell behind 7-6. Ramirez knew the end was nearing but didn’t want her match to conclude on a close call, she said. After the mix of cheering and shock simmered down, SU coaches and players spoke for 30 minutes after the match. Some players, like Hegab, were crying, and others were overcome with emotion. But as Limam puts it: “We learn something from every loss. We’d rather have those losses now than in April or May.” kjedelma@syr.edu

Braedon Bayer checked in when Frank Howard fouled out and contributed for SU

A slow start didn’t stop Tyus Battle from dropping 16 points in the second half

ETROIT — On Sunday morning, before Braedon Bayer replaced Syracuse starting point guard Frank Howard with the season on the line, before he picked up a steal and block in the closing minutes, Greg Bayer sent his son a short text from his Phoenix hotel. “I texted him the mantra he’s known all year,” Greg Bayer, Braedon’s father, said: “Stay ready.” “You know I always am,” Braedon texted back. Around the Syracuse locker room, players and coaches echoed variations of the same phrase: “Stay ready,” for months. Bayer was caught in the in-between, being told his time could come at any moment but rarely seeing it come to fruition. The phrase became a running joke on the team, because he’d be told to “stay ready” before nearly every game, then he’d ride the bench. Not on Sunday. When Howard fouled out with 6:29 left, the 11th-seeded Orange (23-13, 8-10 Atlantic Coast) trailed by four points and a potent third-seeded Michigan State (30-5, 16-2 Big Ten) attack was on the verge of pulling away at a loud Little Caesars Arena, full of nearly all green and white. Enter Bayer, a former walk-on who spent six weeks on then-SU star Tyler Lydon’s couch when he was trying out for the team. The 6-foot-4 guard, who was playing Division-III hoops in Iowa just over two years ago, recorded a key block on MSU star and likely NBA lottery selection Miles Bridges in the 55-53 victory. Bayer added a steal see bayer page 14

ETROIT — Tyus Battle shook his head. He clapped his hands, and he beat his chest. Syracuse’s sophomore swingman was visibly frustrated the entire first half. In the NCAA Tournament, against a Michigan State group that entered the NCAA Tournament ranked fifth, the Orange’s leading scorer was nowhere to be found. He’d missed all four of his shots and split a pair of free throws. He was out-hustled to a long rebound that gave MSU another possession, and he was stripped going for a layup on a fastbreak. Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim wasn’t happy with his team’s offense. And he felt he needed more from the team’s two star guards, Battle and Frank Howard. “I told them at halftime, ‘We can’t win without you two guys,’” Boeheim said. “‘You’ve got to go. Tyus, you’ve got to go.” The Orange needed its star player, and finally he delivered. Battle scored 16 second-half points en route to helping No. 11 seed Syracuse (23-13, 8-10 Atlantic Coast) beat No. 3 seed Michigan State (30-5, 16-2 Big Ten), 55-53, on Sunday afternoon. It continues Syracuse’s improbable run through the NCAA Tournament, with its next game a rematch against No. 2 seed Duke in Omaha, Nebraska. Battle’s second-half run started with a tough floater over an MSU player two minutes in. He added another jumper, getting fouled in the process and converting the and-1. In the first half, against a strong Michigan State defense, Battle see battle page 12

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Syracuse’s chances seemed dim, but it had an opportunity to crawl back into the game. The Orange was man-up, trailing by two early in the fourth quarter. As the offense worked the ball around, looking to remain perfect in extraman opportunities, the ball found Jamie Trimboli at the top of the key. He looked left and passed the ball, which was subsequently batted down by Garrett Michaeli. Rutgers scooped the ground ball, pushing transition and killing the penalty. Trimboli’s errant pass was Syracuse’s 15th turnover of the afternoon, marking a season-worst. Three minutes later, SU had its second shot clock violation. Rutgers’ Jules Heningburg would score his fifth goal of the game after that turnover. “We didn’t value the ball,” redshirt-sophomore defender Nick Mellen said. He paused. “Yeah, we just got sloppy and fell away from our game plan a little bit.” On a day where Syracuse needed its offense to bounce back, it did the opposite. When trying to work the ball around, most passes missed their target. Two separate times while manup, Syracuse turned the ball over. Both came while trailing and could’ve shifted momentum toward the Orange. But that would never come on Sunday afternoon, as the No. 13 Orange (3-3, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) committed a season-worst 22 turnovers in its 14-10 loss to No. 18 Rutgers (6-2, 0-0 Big Ten) at High Point Solutions Stadium. For the first time since April of 2004, the Scarlet Knights walked away with a win against SU. A physical back-and-forth game saw the first half end with just as many turnovers as goals (10). Mistakes often committed by Syracuse, allowing Rutgers to stay within striking distance. Of the first-half turnovers, seven were committed by the Orange. Errant passes, a shot clock violation and Stephen Rehfuss stumbling into the crease gave the Scarlet Knights opportunities in transition. Even with the added possessions given to Rutgers, Syracuse’s defense remained its backbone in the first half, much like it has all season long when constantly pressured and overworked. Rutgers went a perfect 2-for-2 on the man-up, but one of the penalties was on attack Brendan Bomberry. Outside of Heningburg’s two first-half goals, one coming on a missed slide and the other on a defensive midfielder matchup, the team’s other first liners scored just two goals on 16 shots. Syracuse struggled to maintain possession in the second half as well. With the game tied at six, the Orange committed three straight turnovers, including a failure to clear the ball. Despite forcing two Rutgers turnovers in that stretch, the offense see rutgers page 14
