(It has been a while) Poll: EPIC™ Award - UConn 60 USF 58

[nomar]

That was a long time between wins. Good to gut one out against a not-bad team. Contrary to urban legend, the members of the Enzo Patoni Memorial Foundation had not all died and had their heads cryogenically frozen during the team's losing streak. They're alive and well and ready to hand out an award for last night's victory.

If you had told me that Josh Carlton was most likely to lead us in EPIC’s won at the start of the season, I would have said WTF is an EPIC? Then once you explained I would’ve probably lost interest during the explanation. But after that with some prodding I would’ve said it must’ve been a pretty schitty year.

Edit: or maybe not, I don’t know after actually pondering for more than the second it took to type that. I probably would’ve been curious if he developed into an all-conference type guy if he’s leading against the likes of our guard group. Nah, crappy year is more plausible.

If you'd told me it would be anyone but Jalen I'd have been pretty worried.

I think you should only have to explain your vote if you picked anybody other than Carlton here.

Carlton won us the game, he dominated down low early and forced USF to double him. We didn’t capitalize many times when he was doubled but they were so focused on Carlton the rest of the game it allowed other players to get open looks

I voted Carlton and he deserves it in a big way
I also give AG a nod because he is the stabilizer that this teams badly - with JA out
