Do you really think they voted Carter so Newton wouldn’t win? UConn had a gluttony of talent last year, Carter carried PC.
The last time a BE POY wasn’t in the top 5 teams was 2000. Not counting the weird triple-winner year in 2021, the last time a BE POY wasn’t top 3 was 2016
Carter was a ridiculous all around player and a lottery pick. I don’t think that because he was an outlier to a trend means the fix was on. He deserved it.
I think Peavy may be the 2nd best player..Cam Jomes 1.
How about because in '24 the Big EAst's dominant team really didn't have A dominant player. Rational people could have thought any of our starters but Alex was UConn's MVP. When opinions split like that, a dominant best player on some other team has a path to winning.

Let's hope it doesn't come down to the BET final to decide this....

I would've given it to Freemantle- in Big East play 17/9/3 on 58% field goal and Xavier is way better than Georgetown.
And you'll lose to DePaul.
Twice
Freemantle and Xavier's Sweet 16 team from 2023 lost to DePaul which was much worse than this year's DePaul team. But that is a team issue, Peavy is a good two-way player while Freemantle is very good on offense but nothing special on defense.
Yeah, I'll take Freemantle.
Deal.
He doesn't start. Much as people here don't like that, he is eligible for sixth man of the year. Why wouldn't he be?
He started 1 game when Samson was out. He came off the bench. That's the definition of the award.
Understood but how many minutes has Tarris played versus Samson?
in 20 Big East games Tarris logged 20 or less minutes in 12 of them
Yeah but he played more than Samson. He’s been our primary center all year. Hurley was loyal to Johnson letting him start. If that is a 6th man ok and congrats to him on the recognition.
