No Kyla Irwin on the "also" list?

Howard wow what a second half after couldn't do anything in 2nd quarter

Howard's performance was one of the season's best so far. She's outstanding.

She's good, but they lost by 27 and then barely beat UT.

She doesn't have much help unfortunately. I will be interested to see what they look like next year when she has a significantly better support cast.

I thought Patterson was a highly rated recruit.

She's literally played 3 games so far....she'll be a contributor as the season continues but right now it's the Rhyne Howard show for Kentucky. She might be the best player in the SEC this year.

Probably wont keep it up but Howard averaging 36 ppg through 3 SEC games. She's the clear frontrunner right now since the award includes just SEC games.

Howard, were she in the male side of basketball, would be OUT of the college game in April, and making the Big Bucks elsewhere.
