Syracuse basketball star Elijah Hughes is expanding his trophy collection. The redshirt junior forward on Thursday received the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division I Player of the Year award.
Hughes also earned a spot on the All-ECAC first team, according to a press release.
In case you’re wondering, the ECAC is an 80-year-old organization with more than 200 members across the NCAA Division I, II and III levels, per its Web site. Many of the ECAC’s participants also belong to another, primary league – like the Atlantic Coast Conference for the Orange.
