EOY predictions

[maple]

I’m confused how Kaye (Pitt) made it on the ACC 1st team and yet Georgia Woolley (Syracuse) didn’t make 1st or 2nd team. To my eyes, they’re about equal — maybe Woolley is a tad bit better overall. Honestly neither really deserves to be on the list for either team, I’m just puzzled.

Yeah..but think of it this way: there are 18 teams in the league. Each team has 5 starters plus several have players that contribute major minutes every game off the bench. That would be at least 95 players. How can you narrow the list to just 5 for a traditional First Team?

I can cut 5 and narrow it to 10 pretty easily.

Glad that there is no need to march to the Coliseum to protest,,,,, possible storms this morning

I'd love to know how coach Lawson scores so low in the COY category when we finished 3rd in the league and have as many players as 9-9 GT (1 on each) on the All conference teams. Wizardry, I tell ya! Voting is so strange......

Wait--Aaliyah Nye didn't make the All-SEC team?????

These voters, man.

Switching back to the ACC: I need someone to put a battery in Muffet's back about the Virginia Tech snubs. Kelly Gramlich--where are you?

Gramlich expressed surprise yesterday when the ACC awards were announced that not one player from VT was selected for either the first or second teams.

Muffet's voice holds far more weight in women's basketball than Kelly (understatement, I know), and I think her, specifically, speaking out about her former player's team getting disrespected by the ACC media may catch the collective ear of WBB media.

Just after reading the commentary here about the end-of-season awards in the ACC, I noticed The Athletic named Niele Ivey its Coach of the Year—not its ACC Coach of the Year, its NCAAW Coach of the Year.

I think Niele Ivey is a very good coach. But the best in the country this year? I'm not convinced.

OK, but there are All American teams that include only 5 on the 1st team!

lol the ACC with the 15 person first team

This team can play an effective zone.

This team can play an effective zone.

Maybe like soccer where half the team never crosses midcourt. And one defender permanently camps out right in front of the rim.

With 18 teams, just do a clean 10 person 1st team, 10 person 2nd team, maybe a 5 person HM. There's enough talent in these massive conferences for more credit to go around. Texas getting just 1 player recognized on 1st/2nd team despite winning the conference and being #1 in the country doesn't seem right. Players like Rori Harmon and Taylor Jones deserve recognition.

Wait’ll you hear how many teams compete for All American…

First team all conference should be 5 players. Put twenty on the 2nd team if you want more players to get recognition.
