ESPN's POY and FF picks

[Maine CTFan]

It will be very interesting revisiting this discussion next year when we hopefully have a healthy Paige and co.

I'm guessing a lot of people downplaying Boston's scoring and ignoring her rebounding, blocks, limited minutes etc. won't be so harsh on Paige.

Boston is the best women's college basketball player on the planet. If all the candidates for Player of the Year were to enter the WNBA draft, Boston would still go #1. Dawn wouldn't trade her for anyone. Dominant offensively and dominant defensively, none of the others are!

Really. Lol hahaha. I don't have the same opinion. If the the calls was done right they would have never beat uconn. Check out the video, it don't liie, how she pushed AE abd Dorka to the floor to get rebounds. No calls. The hand off from out of bounds. Sorry but I can't find it to give them any credit. You may disagree. That's ok with me. We all can have our opinions. And like I said video don't lie. Go Huskies. And have a great day.

Geez, I hadn't heard that Caitlin Clark, Maddy Siegrist and others more deserving had all left college basketball...

Boston is the most dominant player in college basketball. She can score, defend, rebound and pass which is unusual for a person of her physical stature. Clark is also incredible but most of what she brings is on the offensive side of the ball. With that said if you base it on the stats alone I think she will win going away.

I do think SC would be a top 10 without Boston but not nearly as scary as they are now. If Clark is out for Iowa I'm not sure the are even top 15 team. If either of them win I think most people would understand how they won, anyone else I'm not sure the same would be said. They are all great players and really fun to watch.

S.C., without Boston, would play Cardoso more and rely on their bench. They would be top 5-8 most likely. Iowa, without Clark, is maybe #40. They have 2-3 other really solid players, but Caitlin is essential for their success.

This happens in all sports leagues: are you voting for the best player, or the player who has had the best year?

Even if Boston is the best player (and she probably is overall); she is not having the "best" year. Yes, it's because her team is so deep, and dominant, and she's not being asked to do as much, but that is still a part of her season.

Yep - the old MVP vs MOP debate.

I think Uconn is safely in the final 4. I saw that Utah was a 2 seed in their region. Gonna have to see it to believe that's gonna happen.

Have you seen the play of Utah's Alissa Pili? She is from Alaska by way of first playing
at USC. Alissa Pili is on the POWER FORWARD list with Aaliyah Edwards at HOOPHALLAWARDS
, vote women. VOTE EARLY ... VOTE OFTEN. Aaliyah's competition includes: Cameron Brink of Stanford,
Aneesah Morrow ( DePaul) and ...... Maddy Siegrist ( who is that??). (among others) Let's vote and
get Aaliyah on to the final five list!!!
