Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3903491, member: 7511"] My point has been that the best team in the nation is not necessarily a factor, and is never really determined until the NCAA championship game, weeks after everyone has voted on NPOY awards. Being the best player on a conference championship team ( P5 + whichever conference UConn is in) does matter. Of the 3 players you cite, only Plum came up short on a 26-9 team. But my second criteria, having a media narrative necessary to push any player to a NPOY was there. In Plum’s case it was her effort to achieve the holy grail of shooting 50/40/90, while breaking the all-time WBB scoring record. One additional point. I think it’s essential that a player considered for NPOY earn their CPOY. That is one reason why I discount Caitlin Clark’s chances to earn NPOY. [/QUOTE]
