Is it standard for the 1st team to be 6 and 2nd and 3rd 5? I do think several Honorable Mentions lost out to an urge for diversity in Teams 2 and 3.

The press report said there were six players on the first team owing to a tie

Hey WBB, I think your 3rd team is wrong with Kaila Charles-Maryland; Do you mean Ashley Owusu? Also, who ever votes for some of these is drinking as the 3 I highlighted, while nice players, have no logical association as AA's. If you can't win your Conference POY in the lesser conferences, then are really qualified for the AA team?

If you can't win your Conference POY in the lesser conferences, then are really qualified for the AA team?

So I suppose it is voted before the conference tournament.

The fact that how underrepresented Stanford is in all these individual awards and still is the favorite to win it all goes to show how well they play together as a team.

They had to make room for Howard and Boston. Otherwise, one would have been left out...

 

[Gus Mahler]

Yes, and how many players they play.

There are a million threads so this might already be somewhere but I haven't seen it.
