EOY predictions

[Vowelguy]

SEC - Booker / Brooks / Blakes
BiG - Juju / Gottlieb / Swords (or Cambridge)
ACC - Latson / Ivey / Fournier
B12 - Prince? / Campbell / ??
Bge - paige / Geno / strong


I had Close all year for BiG COY but those 2 losses to USC ….
B12 could be Prince, Hailey Van Lith, Sundell
Personally for BE coy I’d go with the Marquette coach but I don’t think she did well enough to win
Yes I think they’ll give the edge to Latson over Hannah tho I wouldn’t

 

[LETTERL]

Ivey had a roster of future WNBA stars on her roster and finished second. It's easy to be successful with that much talent. NC State had to start from scratch in the frontcourt with freshmen...and they improved steadily throughout the season. Wes Moore should be ACC COY.

And as much as I hate to say it...Courtney "Big Gym" Banghart had to maneuver a difficult schedule without her best player toward the end of the season. I'd give her the nod before Ivey, too.

Wes better be COY in the ACC. No question.

Thanks for the ACC insight
When they were on target for undefeated Ivey seemed the natural choice. But those late 2 losses ….

Despite Latson's numbers which are as impressive as anyone, I don't see her ahead of Hildago who many sources were calling a national player of the year favorite. She and the team had a rough couple of games but I suspect in the conference it is her title to lose. She also has the advantage of being considered a great two way player. Hanna will make some all defensive teams as well.

I could see it going either way for ACC POY. Latson does lead the nation in scoring and she does it efficiently. Thats hard to ignore. She outplayed Hidalgo head to head as well and HH wasn’t at her best down the stretch whereas Latson was still playing very very well …. Until yesterday. 3-21 from the field against Duke is rough. If she dropped in something like 9-21 or better and had 20+ I’d probably argue harder for her. But that was a really bad showing and it’s a hairsplitting race.

I agree with others that Wes should be COY. I know Wesbeld missed the first half of the season, but ND is loaded with future pros and got a stud transfer double double machine in King. While State has talent at guard, Weimar missing the entire season and piecing it together with relatively unknown freshmen at the 5 is pretty impressive.

Paige and Sarah are locks for BE POY & FOY, in my humble opinion. Geno should probably win COY, but the Marquette coach has really done a remarkable job, all things considered, and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets the nod instead. Don't think Geno would disagree either.

Close should not get COY after two losses to USC and Wes should definitely win for ACC.

 

[Stagnant]

Player of the year: Paige. I would vote for Sarah. Here are some advanced analytics that support that:



Additionally, I think she is the best defensive player in the conference. That tips the vote in her favor imo. But Paige will win. My personal preference aside.

 

[BigTenGuy]

BIG-JuJu - will it be unanimous POY?

FOY-Olivia Olson, leading frosh scorer in conference play and higher eFG% than Swords and Cambridge

 

[triaddukefan]

If Ivey gets ACC coach of the year.... We leaving at dawn to walk to the coliseum to protest.

 

[DefenseBB]

SEC Morrow/Brooks/Blakes. I get the best player on the best team thought but what Morrow statistically has done, dwarfs Booker in terms of both efficiency and win shares.
Big Ten- Watkins/Gottlieb/Olsen. Olivia Olson is on the same team as Swords and has outperformed her in both efficiency and win shares.
Big 12- Prince/Campbell/Gibb. Delaney Gibb has been the lone bright spot for BYU and frankly for any homegrown talent in a conference known solely for all it's transfers in. 17.1 pts per game, 16.1 Efficiency, 2.1 Win shares (as of last week)
ACC-Hidalgo/Ivey/Fournier. Latson made a good run at a race seemingly owned by Hannah but alas she faltered last night badly. Toby Fournier has been great offensively for a poor offensive Duke team. When will Kara actually put her in the starting lineup?
Big East- Bueckers/Geno/Strong.

I kinda get it and I may be bias after watching her a lot on her recent run but Katie dinnebier not being a finalist is kind of a insane to me. She averages more points than any one in the list. She averages more assist than anyone on the list. She's only less efficient than Paige.
