PAC 12: POY: Cameron Brink, Stanford COY: Scott Rueck, Oregon State FOY: Juju Watkins, USC Brink/Watkins are easy picks. COY could easily go to Gottlieb too. ACC: POY: Elizabeth Kitley, Virginia Tech COY: Felisha Legette-Jack, Syracuse FOY: Hannah Hidalgo, Notre Dame POY/FOY look like clear cut choices. COY I think Legette-Jack is the best pick but Wes Moore also has a strong case. SEC: POY: Angel Reese, LSU COY: Dawn Staley, South Carolina FOY: Mikaylah Williams, LSU FOY is likely a toss up between Fulwiley and Williams since Scott is likely ineligible due to games missed. Their conference only stats are similar with a slight edge to Williams, but Fulwiley is a lot more disruptive defensively and SC won the conference. Dawn should get COY (and National Coach of the Year for the 4th time in 5 years) but Shea Ralph deserves a major shout out for the job she's done at Vanderbilt. I don't think anyone predicted they'd have a winning record in conference play. Reese is the obvious POY this season. Big 12: POY: Madison Booker, Texas COY Jennie Baranczyk, Oklahoma FOY Madison Booker, Texas (or Co-FOY with Audi Crooks) Looking at conference only stats, Booker is the POY even though she's a freshman. In conference she's averaging 20.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.5 assists while shooting 48% from the field and 92% from the free throw line. Her team finished 2nd in conference with a 14-4 record. Other potential other candidates are: Audi Crooks-19.7 points and 8.8 rebounds on 54% shooting in conference play. Team finished 4th at 12-6 JJ Quinerly-19.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.8 steals on 43% shooting in conference play. Team finished 4th at 12-6. Skylar Vann-15.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists on 50% shooting. Team finished 1st at 15-3 Ayoka Lee was injured for too many games so she isn't a candidate. COY I think goes to Baranczyk but you could make a case for Schafer or Mittie too. Big East: POY: Paige Bueckers, Connecticut COY Geno Auriemma, Connecticut FOY: Ashlynn Shade, Connecticut The Paige/Aaliyah debate is somewhat of a crapshoot, but Paige's conference only numbers are phenomenal so she gets the nod (22 ppg, 57% FG). I think most UCONN fans are hoping Edwards gets it since Paige has won it before and will likely win it again next year, but if I had to pick between the two based solely on conference play this season, Paige is my pick. Geno is the clear choice for COY going undefeated in conference after all of the injuries. [/QUOTE]
