Not having the opportunity to watch ANY other AAC player this past week, I can't argue with the Conference Committee for their selections. I surely can't imagine there are any AAC freshmen (perhaps none in all of NCAA) playing better than CW, even though her production this week was not what it was against ND.
I also didn't see any other AAC games this week, but I have to assume the Conference Committee that makes these decisions gathers all the available data, tape, or what ever they need to make their choices.
I noted in the ESPNW player of the week article about Sabrina, I noticed that BOTH KLS and NC were nominated

) for the ESPN award. Based on the small number who were nominated, I suspect it's ESPN personalities who make these nominations. Regardless, what it says to me when TWO players (both Seniors) from the same team are nominated for ESPNW POW, is that they are BOTH very important cogs in the UCONN machine and its success. I have trouble with the argument of "take away player X's contributions and we don't win," because it can be said for player Y, Z, A and B... they are all important, especially when the wins this week were each 10 points or less.. Can't live without any of them being productive.
CONGRATS to the HUSKIES on their wins and to the two players selected this week by the American Athletic Conference.
GO HUSKIES.
