No first team all big east.

Alex and solo get 2nd teams nods

Fair considering our conference standing and AK's prolonged slump.

 

[JungleLobo]

Sounds about right

Curious who people think will win POY. Following the "best player on the best team" philosophy, it would be Luis. But UConn dominated the BE last year (even more so than SJU did this year), and we all know what happened. I'm sure Hurley hasn't forgotten that (or the other coaches). It's clear a lot of BE coaches are chummier with some than with others, and I'm not sure Rick has many (any?) friends in the ranks. Could we get a surprise winner like, say, Dixon?

It'll be Luis or Kalkbrenner, they were the only unanimous picks

I thought Jones and Dixon were unanimous too

Hard to foresee them as not

They were. Only Peavy and Ejiofor on the first team weren't unanimous.

Btw, why do we have 2 threads on the same topic? Tough to have a good conversation when people are asking questions that were asked and answered in the other thread.

Moderators usually merge threads. Not blaming anyone for posting something twice 1 minute after the other one.

I will take that as a compliment.

Kam Jones plants beautiful basketball. Dixon and Luis are mid range shooters and FT merchants. IMO Jones is POY

Kalkbrenner should win it but Luis will win it.

Let us not forget that in 2022-2023 UConn was in a very similar situation in the conference and then things just came together plus a little bit of luck.

Dixon and Luis better remember that the Big East referees won’t be at every ncaa tourney game to bail them out.
