Message: [QUOTE="The deacon, post: 4529581, member: 11559"] I love it, as written by visitingcock, the rule has now been established: A player has to play in the Elite Eight to be eligible for the NPOY award.;) I hope at least some of you agree with me that's arbitrary to the [I]nth[/I] degree. Come on, visitingcock. Would you feel that way if the Gamecocks were upset in the Sweet Sixteen? I'll just add a couple of points I've made on other threads. Caitlin Clark is not a one-way player. Caitlin Clark is not all about offense. She plays good defense and she pulls down 8 rebounds a game, just two less per game than Aliyah Boston (granted, playing more minutes). Clark doesn't just fire up 35-foot shots. She plays end to end, hustling throughout, and every game, even the ones Iowa loses, I believe she plays at a skill level higher than anyone else in the WCBB right now. That she happens to be exciting as heck to watch is a bonus, but is not the crux of her versatile, superb game. [/QUOTE]
