THE KRAUS SIMMONS TROPHY
- The Kraus-Simmons Trophy has been presented to the victor in this annual showdown every year since 1986. The trophy is named for legendary Orange head coach Roy Simmons Sr., who coached at SU from 1931-70 and won 253 career games, and Babe Kraus who compiled 208 victories at Hobart. After Simmons Sr. his son Roy Simmons Jr. led the program from 1971-1998 winning six NCAA Championships. Roy Simmons III remained on staff as director of operations through last spring. A member of the three generations of the Simmons family was part of the program for 92 consecutive seasons (94 in total counting Simmons Sr.'s playing days) was part of 841 victories - more than all-but three programs in NCAA Division I history.
- Syracuse has won 32 of the 35 meetings since the trophy has been awarded, including 19 in a row from 1987 to 2005. The Statesmen gained possession of the trophy in 1986, 2006 and 2013. Otherwise it has resided in Syracuse.
- The Orange retained the trophy from 2022 by beating the Statesmen 18-16.
- Due to space limitations on the prior trophy, in 2019 a new base addition was installed and the trophy was updated. There are now commemorative inscriptions for Kraus and Simmons on each side, with additional space to list the winners. The cup at the top remains the original.
