Syracuse’s Dyaisha Fair keeps climbing NCAA scoring list, elevating team in ACC standings
Associated PressSyracuse coach Felisha Legette-Jack encouraged star Dyaisha Fair to explore other basketball options for her graduate year this season. She didn’t want one of the top scorers in NCAA history to go, but felt that Fair deserved a chance to play at the highest level possible for her fifth year. Fair, who is averaging 21.8 points this season, hasn’t gotten nearly as much attention as Iowa star Caitlin Clark, who became the NCAA’s Division I women’s all-time scoring leader this month. “Every game our media people talk about it a little bit, but I don’t keep up with it on my own,” Fair said. “We went to another big tournament in Atlanta and nobody came to her courts.” Legette-Jack said Fair is excelling in the ACC, but hasn’t gotten much WNBA interest so far.
