Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3903599, member: 2117"] Agree with the main points, although I put a lot more weight on a regular season conference champion than winning a 3 day tournament like A'ja did in 2018 when Mississippi State was the clear top dog of the SEC that season. Even if SC lost the SEC tourney, A'ja still wouldve dominated POY awards. Also disagree with a player having to win CPOY to be NPOY. CPOY is for that conference's regular season, NPOY is for non conference, plus conference, plus conference tournament. Usually this goes hand in hand but once in a blue moon it doesn't. For example, Candace Parker wasn't SEC POY at Tennessee her senior year but won majority of the national awards. Fowles deservedly won SEC POY due to her SEC regular season but Parker had a stronger season overall pre-NCAAs and won most of the POY awards. I agree Clark's chances of winning NPOY are heavily discounted, but it's due to her team not being in the top 25 all year rather than losing out on Big Ten POY to Hillmon. [/QUOTE]
