Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3080565, member: 1673"] And yet UConn played some of its best basketball of the year during the fourth quarter against Notre Dame, with Collier out of the line-up. Take Gustafson out of the line-up and I wonder how Iowa fares. Also, I would imagine teams are keying in on Gustafson more so than Collier, particularly when Samuelson is in the lineup, so there is more adversity for Gustafson to fight. This points to MVP credentials, not POY. Collier may very well be the best POY candidate, I don't watch enough of the others to know better. Collier gets my vote! But your defense of Collier is an MVP type defense, not POY type defense. There is no doubt in most people's minds that subtracting Gustafson from Iowa would have much more disastrous consequences than subtracting Collier from UConn. In fact, I'll bet the first few takers a large pizza (that we split and have a good time over) that next year UConn has no more than 3 losses, the same maximum total we could have this year. (Um, barring unforeseen injuries and/or transfers) [/QUOTE]
