My votes:
Defense - Kelly
Freshman - KML
6th Man - KML
Wish they had one for "heart and soul" - it would be Kelly, too!

POY - Skylar Diggins, she's getting the National Publicity
FOY KML
6th Man Should be KML, but I don't think coaches will give it to her.
Defense. Should be Kelly, but I think coaches again award Deveraux Peters.

Agree with your "shoulds" and "wills", though I do think Kaleena will get the 6th man award. Who else has close to her numbers/impact off the bench?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Alex could drop "off the bench" at the end of the sentence, and it would still be a legit question.

I think KML is the FOY in a runaway and also 6th man.

I have not seen ND enough, but I'd pick Kelly over Peters.

Skylar is the BE POY at this point. I'm hoping that Tiffany wrests it away from her over the next 10 games.

Diva Of The Year - Diggins

 

[HuskyFan1125]

I agree with all of the above.

Dont count out Sugar Rodgers of Georgetown though as possible POY! She leads the BE in scoring.

isnt girl from Seton Hall leading the conference is scoring at 19.6 or something like that Jasmine Crew (sp?)

 

[EricLA]

it would be nice to see Rogers get the award. Diggins gets all the national press. let's see if UCONN can shut her down the last regular game of the season...

it will be interesting to see who is 1st, 2nd and 3rd team. i personally think Tiff, Bria and KML are on various teams. i don't think Stef makes 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team at this point. maybe if she comes on strong in the home stretch, but as of now i'd say no. i'd put Kelly on the 3rd team before Stef.

 

[MarieM]

IMO Seton Hall's Jasmine Crew is Big East POY at this point but wont get it because of the record the team has.

Defense-KELLY though Peters could get it again,but she is going to get numerous awards plus what Kelly is
doing at the 4 and everywhere else is remarkable
Freshman KML and 6th man KML This is not favoritism,just the way it shakes out in a landslide though
it may be decided to split them up by the same logic I used for the Kelly over Peters. Though who else if
not the overwhelming 6 weeks voted FOW plus she is the 6th man
MVP In a runaway<bad diva press this week>SKYLAR
"HEART AND SOUL" CD and KELLY
Good question Marie you need to vote
Tiffany's play will get her 1st team BE along with Skylar,Novosel,Peters,and Bria

Peters isn't likely to repeat. What got her the deserved nod last year was that she matched all other contenders in rebounds and steals, but blew them away in blocks. She isn't blocking at that pace this year in an effort to reduce her fouls. Mallory may be ND's best candidate for the award. She's not likely to receive it either.

Still amazes me that knowledgeable fans refuse to give Diggins the credit not only for the numbers she puts up in points, assists, steals, but that she is without a doubt the leader and catalyst of ND's success. Sugar may lead in points per game, but was shut down versus ND and she takes a much larger volume of shots then the other contenders.

McBride is a dark horse to get named to one of the 3 teams. HM at the very least.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

I'm not doubting that Diggins as the possible the winner or her asset to her team, I was merely offering suggestions of some players that are having POY season.

If I were voting today.....definitely would be Diggins.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Recognizing that Skylar is good and liking her are different things.

At this point Skyler is the leader and best player of the second best team in the country and best team in the Big East and as such she is the POY. I hope it changes by the end of the season as I don't like her dive act (headband on, headband off, her facial expressions, etc...Really) but this does not mean that she doesn’t deserve the POY. It the season ended today she should be a unanimous POY.

wow... this makes her a Diva?

 

[Kibitzer]

As of this point in the season, I believe they can go ahead and mail the FOY and 6th Man awards to Kaleena. Ditto Defense award to Kelly (this year because teammates Stokes and Stewart will get after it next year).

POY now is Skylar Diggins. She is the catalyst for a fine team and a genuine All-American. She is also entitled to the most style points.

I got no beef with Skylar, but I wish I could watch a WBB game without hearing about Skylar's Twitter followers.

she's not mentioning during the games

Which is why I got no beef with Skylar.

someone has to be the WCBB darling... Maya had the title for 4yrs

 

[alexrgct]

Media darlings are good for the game. But with Maya, the focus was on individual and team accomplishments, as well as her academic achievements. With Skylar, it's largely about her being pretty and having a lot of Twitter followers. I'm not saying ignore the obvious, that she's a beautiful young woman, but dig a little deeper and focus on the stuff that really matters when calling a game! No one needs an announcer's back story to have evidence that Skylar is attractive.

and before Maya who was it

 

[blackbird]

If Uconn beats ND at Uconn, and Bria outplays Diggins (again), Bria would have a legitimate argument. She's a sophomore, so she won't win. But she's probably the best player in the conference.
