Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 2070384, member: 4946"] Peterson certainly has great numbers and she was excellent against ND (though Turner was the dominant player on the floor in that game, imo), so she is a fine choice as POY. On the other hand, Syracuse finished 6th in the conference. If she's the best player in the conference, should her team be finishing 6th? I think Peterson's stats are also a little inflated by Syracuse's style of play. They focus on creating turnovers rather than FG% defense. Syracuse's opponents actually shoot a better percentage than they do but Syracuse makes up for it by attempting more shots. Also, Peterson played huge minutes (35.2 mpg). I'll be curious to see who the coaches go for as POY. Last year the media went for Hines-Allen and Coaches went for Turner. I wonder if they'll differ again this year. [/QUOTE]
