Bazz 1st team All AAC, Amida All Rookie Team

[upstater]

The numbers are close for all three but UConn finished behind both teams and Bazz had the worst game out of any of them. It sucks but in the last and arguably biggest game to make a statement, UConn got destroyed and Bazz had a horrific day. Shabazz and Kilpatrick are both more important to their team than Smith is in my opinion but Shabazz just wasn't good enough in the head to head matchups to win CPOY.

I don't get this thinking at all. It could be SK had the better year, but to base on one game makes no sense. SK played Rutgers. How did Shabazz do against Rutgers 3 days earlier? How did SK do against UConn 6 days earlier? If you're not basing it on the season, it makes no sense. The Louisville game was no more important than the Cincy game the previous week.

In head to head matchups, Shabazz was good at home, and bad on the road. Just like SK was. Same thing. And this includes Shabazz's 30 points against Louisville at home.

Me.

yeah ok

Anyone saying Shabazz deserves conference player of the year is being a homer, Kilpatrick deserves it.

He does DESERVE it as does Kilpatrick and to a lesser extent Smith.
Bazz just as important to his team plus his stats are overall better
Maybe I'm a homer but not someone prone to make inane blanket statements

Putting it one game is stupid. Really stupid.

If you want to put it one game put it on Bazz v. Kilpatrick in Hartford. Bazz outplayed him badly.

Your analysis really makes no sense.

Kilpatrick played with an all conference player, Bazz did not.

No one really played well in that game in Hartford. Napier was impressive with the 11 rebounds, but his 18 points were on 4-13 shooting. To me the best games by those players were Russ Smith against SMU, Napier against Memphis the second time and Kilpatrick against Connecticut (or Memphis the second time).

Honestly, you really cannot go wrong with either of the 3 choices. I think we could see co-POY's with Smith and Kilpatrick because their teams won the league.

I think it is amazing that the AAC will have 3 1st team All Americans, and I am happy they are all seniors. That is what college basketball should be all about. In fact with McDermott also being a lock, we'll have 4/5 1 team All American's as seniors.

Eat those words
Guess what - the homers won
Congrats Bazz
