3-way Tie for BE POTY, and no Bouk?

[87Xfer]

Mamu, Gillespie and Robinson-Earl, but not Bouk.

Anderson COTY

I think we'll be going into the tourney with some attitude.

If we're getting into an era of co-POTY, I wouldn't want it.

Let me earn something I don't need to share to please the masses. Ridiculous, doesn't even matter who wins.

 

[Palatine]

Would you take any of these three over Bouk?

oopsie

Bouk didnt play enough to earn the award. Hopefully Dan Hurley uses this to motivate him.

nope

 

[UCTitleTown]

Doesn't team success factor into POY or it's completely a numbers thing?

I don't think it's a conscious choice to have multiple, it's that coaches voted and it ended tied

 

[NJHusky]

sounds like a participation trophy with 3 players getting it

Everyone knows Bouknight is by far the best player in the conference but he missed 8 conference games. The joke is having three winners, Champagnie was probably more deserving than all three as well. I'm a big Mike Anderson fan but Hurley should've gotten it, no coach had to deal with as much as Hurley dealt with.

Make em pay

Better yet, they tweeted that he won it and then deleted it and gave it to someone else. If that's not motivation, idk what is.

I have no problm with Anderson getting COTY. I wouldve had no problem with Hurley getting either. You can make a strong case for both. Splitting hairs.


the 3 POTY is a joke. (and it didnt have to go to Bouk missing all those games, either. just make a decision. coplayers 3 way? LOL.)

For all the people who keep bringing it up, what exactly is the Big East supposed to do? 3 coaches vote for Mamu, 3 for Gillespie, 3 for Robinson-Earl, what's that next step that the Big East is supposed to do?

 

[HuskyBoi]

Fuel to the fire. Can't wait for the reaction tomorrow night. HUNGRY HUSKIES

Bouknight not winning POTY I understand, he didn't play enough games - but I don't get the Coach award... We finished third without bouk for 8 games, Johnnies who I respect greatly had their best player for all but 2 games finished behind us in 4th

But SJ was selected 9 pre season. They outplayed their selection more than we did

Johnnie's had their best player of all 19 conference games.

Oh yeah, what I meant was also non conference which he missed 2 games but I forgot that actually isn't considered too much in conference awards. Thanks

Those preseason selections were made based on teams being healthy. If they knew UConn wouldn't have Bouknight for half their games, Jackson would miss so much time, and Akok wouldn't be playing UConn would be nowhere near there.

St. John's started the year 71st in KenPom. Ended up 64th. Hurray he won a tiebreaker and finished 2 games better than expected. Really stunning stuff. (9th place 8-11, Johnnies 10-9).

I need an angry emoji. 🤬🤬😡. Best player in the league. I hope James uses this to fuel his performance. I hope RJ feels the same about not even getting honorable mention. Bulletin board material.

Wait. They tagged Bouknight in the original post? That is so bush league.

 

[Ts5034]

Conference regular season awards are nice, but at UConn, it’s all about Championships. This is just extra motivation for this week. Im OK with this. I like when we are playing with a chip on our shoulder.

I think it's because he didn't use enough timeouts early in games.

 

[RayRay]

This is SO good for us in this tournament. I feel bad for every team we will play against in the BET. Chip on the shoulder like Hurley loves.

 

[Incursio007]

Hyped about this! Prove them wrong & run everyone out of the gym.

 

[Kolumbo]

Eyes on the prize. Tournament Trophy topped with Tourney MVP.

HANGRY HUSKIES!
