Georgetown wouldn't have won much without Peavy either, that goes both ways. Plus, he is shooting 40% on 3s on good volume and close to 50% on all FGs in addition to being a lockdown defender and leading the Big East in steals. He also had the game winner against Nova at Finneran Pavilion and helped Georgetown sweep Nova. Here is his game log (his last 10 games were exceptional):Agree to disagree. Nice player on a mediocre team. You gotta be special good like Dixon is at Niva this year to make first team BE on a lower rung team. Nova doesn't win 5 games this season without Dixon.
Let us not forget that in 2022-2023 UConn was in a very similar situation in the conference and then things just came together plus a little bit of luck.Alex and solo get 2nd teams nods
Dixon and Luis better remember that the Big East referees won’t be at every ncaa tourney game to bail them out.Kam Jones plants beautiful basketball. Dixon and Luis are mid range shooters and FT merchants. IMO Jones is POY
Peavy has been a monster to end the year (stepping up when Sorber went down). 23, 7, and 4.5 from February on (9 games) while being one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.
Hard to reconcile that with 10 ppg in December for awards though.
Do you really think they voted Carter so Newton wouldn’t win? UConn had a gluttony of talent last year, Carter carried PC.I’m not upset with Peavy on the first team. He’s putting up numbers on a bad team, but he still put up the numbers. If it was Ashworth, Solo, or Kadary instead of him, I also wouldn’t be upset with it
50/50 on Kalkbrenner vs Luis for POY. Both had great seasons for successful teams
Last year I’m pretty sure the coaches voted Devin Carter just so Tristen Newton wouldn’t win. If they follow the same logic (beast player on a bad team), then it 100% should be Eric Dixon with no question. But I think that voting logic was a one-time thing
The last time a BE POY wasn’t in the top 5 teams was 2000. Not counting the weird triple-winner year in 2021, the last time a BE POY wasn’t top 3 was 2016Do you really think they voted Carter so Newton wouldn’t win? UConn had a gluttony of talent last year, Carter carried PC.
Carter was a ridiculous all around player and a lottery pick. I don’t think that because he was an outlier to a trend means the fix was on. He deserved it.The last time a BE POY wasn’t in the top 5 teams was 2000. Not counting the weird triple-winner year in 2021, the last time a BE POY wasn’t top 3 was 2016
In a year when the BE had 3 AP All Americans, I refuse to believe that the POY voting was honest in giving it to Devin Carter. He carried them, but carried them to .500 and an NIT berth
If Eric Dixon wins POY this year then I’ll admit I was wrong and the criteria is just different now. He’s had a better individual season and Nova is 1 game ahead of where PC was. If not, then I have to start asking why the BE voted with that set of criteria for 1 year and 1 year only
I think Peavy may be the 2nd best player..Cam Jomes 1.Freemantle should be on the first team instead of Peavy.
How about because in '24 the Big EAst's dominant team really didn't have A dominant player. Rational people could have thought any of our starters but Alex was UConn's MVP. When opinions split like that, a dominant best player on some other team has a path to winning.The last time a BE POY wasn’t in the top 5 teams was 2000.

Let's hope it doesn't come down to the BET final to decide this....Kalkbrenner should win it but Luis will win it.
