Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4837211, member: 26"] I'm with Tony on this one. SC? They were in the top 6/4 to start the year anyway. And they have lost no one to injuries. UCLA was 4/8 to start the year. Wes had a really good team at NC State that no one paid attention to. Just because the pollsters were stupid does not make him COY. SC and UCLA are absolutely no surprise. UCONN has lost the equivalent of a top 25 team to season ending injuries, and 3 of those players were 100% ready to go at the start of the season, and all 3 were starting caliber players. If the award were given today, hands down it should be Geno. Oh and by the way honorable mention to Ivey at ND. Hate them but credit what they have done with all their injuries as well. What Geno and UCONN have had to overcome in the past 3 years has never been seen in WCBB before... EVER. And what he's gotten the team to do this season is nothing short of spectacular. By the way is there an award for the opposite for COY? Harper has to win that hands down at Tennessee - preseason top 10'ish to not even making the tourney at this point. Add to that her highest level recruit (Pissot) bailed after 1 year to go across state to Vandy. Talk about doing less with more... Dishonorable mention to Freese and Maryland (preseason 14/11) to barely making it into the tourney at this time... [/QUOTE]
