Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2061921, member: 3535"] Well I'm having a hard time believing that if two years ago UCONN had sr KML and two jr's in top ten and just because this year they are one year younger so some get disqualified not for what they did on the court but because some voter oversteps their bounds and thinks it' okay to not put the more deserving players on the list regardless of age. The better player - the one that wins too-- if stats are similar -- should get in. Not give it to someone because of age. I didn't hold off mentioning the 9 players because barring a disaster and with primarily two games left- I think the 9 I mentioned deserve to be in. And the UCONN team is undefeated. Undefeated IS special (though UCONN ahs made it almost ordinary. It shouldn't be thought of that way. What they are doing IS exceptional and should trump age.) . For a team like ND to have the same number of a/a's on the team (you mentioned Allen) after UCONN beat ND and has THREE less losses for a super squad undefeated team- I find it ridiculous for any team with 3 more losses after they've been beaten by UCONN to have the same number as UCONN unless two players have MUCH BETTER stats. During the reg season the UCONN team and players were superior to ND. So the committee is supposed to give a/a status because of age? IMO that is ridiculous. Performance gets thrown to the wind even though the undefeated team is doing something historic and the players have performed at a superior level? THAT is to be ignored because of age? As far as the bigs, you say you want to wiat for tournament? Yet I thought selecting is done before the tourney? When it comes to Mitchell- I think we agree. I prefer the UCONN/ND style. But the style Ohio State plays-- they only lost 5 games. To a certain point winning has to count unless stats are super supreme. That's why for example imo Peterson from Cuse shouldn't sniff 1st team nor should the center from the pac-10 whose team ahs about a .500 record. I'm guessing you don't care for the style. But with that said- just because you and I have a personal preference of a style shouldn't mean we disqualify a player we don't care for -- if they are winning. There are different ways/styles to win and be highly successful- not just the style way we prefer the most. [/QUOTE]
