Big East Awards Thread

[Aluminny69]

Who are you going to believe, 9 Big East coaches with many years experience, or a highly opinionated UConn fan?

BTW, do we know all the voting? Perhaps Aubrey was runnerup in the voting, although I doubt it.

How the teams have performed in the BigEast this year I have no issues with who was recognized for awards.

It promoting the BigEast for goodness sake.

However, I'll not be telling my wife that Aubrey only got an Honorable Mention. She has already informed me that Aubrey should be the team MVP when I told her about the vote MVP thread.

Why????

Depends on which highly opinionated fan

 

[Majic Hands]

Why????

My wife is of the opinion that Aubrey "IS" UConn. I've already suffered her wrath when upon sharing the MVP voting thread with her this morning.

Can't argue with any of the selections, but like others have mentioned, I believe first team should be only five players, by position, because that is what a first team would normally be made up of (ol' school mentality, sorry). Also, although Aubrey is a sensational defender overall, Geno has pulled her numerous times for missing defensive assignments or not closing out on shooters. Nika is consistently in her opponents face, and never backs down. Just my opinion.

Huh, well I guess everyone has their own opinion.

Either Nika or Aubrey would have been worthy of the award, but why the gratuitous shot at Gino. Seems like he's got enough to do already.

 

[Geew1992]

Ya'll forever finding something to complain about

 

[jdote33]

I was surprised Dorka wasn't on first team.

 

[Zanzman]

No

The BE coaches probably voted for Nika because no other player gets their block knocked off more than she does.
Nika is like one of those Rock'em Sock'em Robots.

Whose this guy Gino some are talking about?

I would suggest, she did not play enough.

 

[BBallF]

Special congrats to Lou.
Totally disagree. Nika deserved it again.

 

[Ozimoto]

I'm ok with the choices.

This is not true at all. Go back and actually watch the games. Siegrist and Morrow are the two best ACTIVE offensive players in the BE. Edwards played 26 and 32 minutes in the two DePaul games and 40 and 37 in the two Villanova games. For every minute AE was on the floor, other than transition plays, she started every single possession as the exclusive defender on those two players until a switch was forced. In the most recent Villanova game, when covering her head to head, she gave up only 9 of Siegrist's 21 pts playing those 37 minutes. Edwards is who Auriemma trusts against the iron.

Tartamella & St. John's went from having an overall record last year of 12-19 & 7-12 in the BE to an overall record of 22-7 & 13-7 in the BE so far this year.

That's a big improvement.

WRONG, it was Nika that shut the other teams best guard down. Most of the time when Nika's "man" scored it was becuz Nika had gotten screened off and ended up guarding the biggest player on the other team and she did a GREAT job of that too.
Dont even go there at Aubrey was better. She wasnt...NO ONE in the Big East was as dominate of a defender as Nika.

Caitlin Clark didn't have a vote but I suspect she would have voted for Muhl.
