Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2072616, member: 5798"] Here's why Collier will be selected the AAC POY................ [B]Collier: [/B]Her season [B]began with 28 points[/B], eight rebounds and four blocks against Florida State and [B]ended with 39 points[/B], 12 rebounds and four blocks at South Florida. [B]In between, she was consistently good while steadily improving her game.[/B] In the first 22 games, she was strictly a post scorer. She attempted 23 three-pointers, converting eight (34.8 percent). In the last seven games, she was 7-for-14 (50.0) on three-pointers, and that perimeter game added another wrinkle for defenses to consider. Collier had 12 double-doubles this season and averaged 28.8 points and 10.8 rebounds over the final four games. Overall, she is averaging 20.4 points and nine rebounds, with 56 blocks and 52 steals, and her field goal percentage (68.6, 245-for-357) is second in the country. She was steady all year. She played in every game. She did not have any slumps. She was always dependable. Geno said it, "[I]With [B]Collier[/B] and Gabby, [U]you know[/U] you're going to start out the game with 40 points[/I]". That's reassuring to a coach. She ALWAYS showed up at game time. [/QUOTE]
