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

[huskyfan224]

Participation trophy, pick one!

 

[August_West]

There are 11 teams...if the coaches have to vote again of the 3 tied, they could at least get it to 2 players

I mean I’m a bleeding heart lib, ;-) but this participation trophy for everyone stinks. Might as well just name 11 players ( 1 from each team) BEPOY

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Bouk missed about half our games and we didn’t
finish first . Why would any rational fan
have a problem with or even have expectations of him winning. . Bouk being the most talented player in the league is irrelevant to the award.
Im of the school that awards are nice for people recognized but in the bigger picture are pretty insignificant.
I rather win the Big East tournament in which case Bouk will be tourney MVP because it effects are seeding.
or better yet win the NCAA tournament and win
Tourney MVP
The other important award is getting drafted high in the first round and signing a big guaranteed contract.

Ben Hansborough was the 2011 Big East POY. Nobody cares now in 2021.

 

[Brochacho]

The participation trophy comments are stupid. Three guys equally finished for first. If three people finished with the same exact time in the Olympics, there would be 3 gold medals.

But I do think the Big East should switch to ranked choice voting. Assuming no collusion, it would be extremely unlikely to have a three-way tie for first.

 

[MexicoHusky]

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

Anderson COTY

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

This helps the cause

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I know I’ve made my feeling on Gillespie very well known but it’s such a joke to think he is the best player in this conference. I can’t believe Champagnie didn’t get a vote.

RJ and Gillespie have very similar stats and impact on games. One is the best player in the conference one wasn’t even honorable mention? Huh?

 

[Kolumbo]

I'm not saying DH didn't deserve it...I'm saying Anderson had a legit claim to the award. And I don't think coaches are looking at Kenpom to decide who get COY. Anderson deserves credit...they were Shtshow before he got there.

He's almost got them back to where Chris Mullen left off.

Mike Anderson did a lot more with less I think. Low ranked players. UConn was preseason #3 and ended #3. Could make a case for both guys of course but Anderson’s team far exceeded expectations. As far as Bouknight goes, he’s the best player in the league for sure. He played half the games and is an underclassman. Julian Champagnie had better stats overall than any of the one 3 but also suspect underclassmen status hurt him there.

Doing more than expected, but not actually doing much. 10-9 in a down conference. 64th in KenPom. On the deep wrong side of the bubble. Lost to Butler and Depaul.

 

[navery12]

Appears the AAC isn't any better

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

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

Or the conference was not very deep, or SJU was underrated.

 

[nomar]

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?

Cage match. Gotta say I don't like Gillespie's chances.

 

[MCNPA]

10-9 is solid and SJU played more games than most ranked above them. 5 more games than Nova and 2 more than UConn. 2 of sju’s losses vs top ranked Creighton, and sju also played Nova twice, winning one and beating UConn as well. . In addition SJU beat most the top teams in the conference, and UConn I believe was 0-4 vs the conferences best teams. I can’t see the rationale. If everybody played as many games there might, and likely would have been some more losses in there.

 

[auror]

He's probably a pyscho, though. He's got a mean left shoulder, too.

Sandro might also be fake tough, though he's got the reach.

UConn only played 2 games healthy against the conferences best teams

Vote for 3 and tabulate the points, Heisman style. Far less chance of a tie (# of first place votes tiebreaker), let alone a three way tie.

 

[MCNPA]

Yes and lost them all. And only played each one 1 time. UConn doesn’t have any Big East wins against any of the better big East teams. I can’t see how you throw stones at SJU with nothing on the resume’, and I’m not knocking UConn as I think they’re a good team.

"Them all" being 2. One we had the lead with 6 seconds left shooting Fts and the other was a road game at Nova. You guys lost by damn near 30 in your @Nova game. We didn't get Nova at home nor Johnnies when healthy.

Not sure what this playing games argument is about. Even if we lost all the extra games, we'd still have more wins than you.

Close losses don’t count for much. Fact remains that UConn still has no quality Big East wins this season. Knocking SJU for losing to DePaul and Butler once doesn’t make sense.

 

[auror]

...Why does it not make sense to knock a team for losing to bad teams? It's the reason you guys aren't in the tournament right now.

 

[NJHusky]

Or the conference was not very deep, or SJU was underrated.

or maybe coach got them to play better than expected and should be coy

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Earn it, team accomplishment 1 game at a time. In June (?), the NBA will award Bouk his individual trophie$.

 

[August_West]

UConn only played 2 games healthy against the conferences best teams

and lost both

I’m not sure how UConn has a resume’ for the tournament right now either. UConn has one decent win over USC and hasn’t beaten anybody else. I think both sju and UConn have to make a reasonable run in the BET. This season has been crazy and has not afforded most teams a lot of high quality Ooc games.

You're failing badly.
