Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 3860446, member: 5823"] 1) The Major POY (Naismith, Honda, AP & Wade) [B]do not[/B] have ESPN media people that vote. 2) Paige [B]is not e[/B]ligible for the Wade because she is a freshman. That is actually written in to the criteria for the Wade. 3) The ESPN personalities and ESPN are not down playing Paige-quite the opposite. If you google Paige and ESPN you will find several videos of ESPN shows unrelated to WCBB on which Paige is featured. ESPN is in the Media business Paige is Media equivalent of must see box office gold. 4) You are forgetting a couple things A) Just about all UCONN games are broadcast on ESPN radio. B) Two major UCONN games that were cancelled this season ( Mississippi State & Louisville) would have been broadcast on ESPN. 5) The people screaming "upperclassmen" are screaming a verifiable fact that these awards tend to favor upperclassmen. Two notable examples are Senior Tina Charles displacing Maya Moore as POY and Senior Megan Gustafson winning the AP player of the year over Junior Sabrina Ionescu. [/QUOTE]
