If I recall correctly, the Fan Vote counts for a very small percentage of the overall "calculus" that will be used to make the selection for the Naismith Player of the Year Award.  So, in theory it really may not make an incredible amount of difference.  We know there is a "pre-ordained one" on the list, so that will be the toughest thing to go up against.  I don't believe we will ever get every BY member to vote for one of our 2 candidates...although focusing everyone's effort toward one player would be the best "strategy."

That said... I mentioned in the "Vote for our Huskies" thread... I believe people need to vote for the player they believe most deserves the award regardless of what year they are in school (Senior, Junior...).   We know that "next year" is not guaranteed. We've seen it throughout WCBB especially this year, so many injuries, so many seasons taken away from players and their teams, and if they do qualify for a medical red shirt, who knows if they will return to play with the same level of game that they had before.

I will continue to vote for the person I believe is the Best Player...with no regard to what class she is in...but I can state that she plays for the University of Connecticut.
