Journey Thompson strolled into Tuesday’s postgame press conference wearing Syracuse’s infamous orange hard hat. She was awarded it for being the team’s “stabilizer,” SU head coach Felisha Legette-Jack said. The hat, with a large “Bank of America” logo on the front and a block S on the back, sat next to Thompson as she spoke.
The Orange only disperse one hard hat per game, handed to the player who displays the toughness to push Syracuse over the edge.
