Vanderbilt 2025

Top 5 program NATIONALLY, and I think they will sweep the SEC awards. POY-Blakes, COY-Shea Ralph, FOY-Aubrey Galvin

I was skeptical but now I am a believer....

Guessing FOY goes to Chavez but Galvan has hands down had the better SEC season. In SEC play she's averaging 14.5 points, 5.3 assists on 45.5% FG shooting. Chavez is averaging 18.0 ppg, 4.1 assists on 34.7% FG shooting.

Yikes. That's a tight race. Considering how Vandy's season has gone, could that tip the scale in Galvan's favour?
 
Also regarding Mikayla Blakes, she should be a lock for SEC POY and she might be overtaking Sarah Strong for NPOY favorite at this point. Individually she's had one of the best SEC seasons of all time. In conference play she's averaged 30.5 points, 5.2 assists, and 2.3 steals on shooting splits of 46.8/39.8/89.6 while leading Vanderbilt to a 13-3 record, finishing in 2nd place after they were predicted to finish 7th in the preseason.
 
I'm sorry. Strong is the better player and it's not really an argument. I like Blakes a ton and agree she is SECPOY by a lot.

POY isn't equivalent to who is the best player, it's who had the best season. I doubt you'll find many people argue that Blakes is a better overall player than Sarah Strong, but Blakes definitely has a case for having the best individual season in 2025-26.

Came here to say this and you beat me to it.

Some, myself included, think Strong might end up as the best to ever play at UConn, and if part of Blakes’ case is how Vanderbilt has overachieved, it’s obviously much harder to do that at UConn.

If Blakes wins NPOY it’s a matter of her just taking it rather than Strong doing anything to lose it.

Possibly? I feel like FOY honors are often stats focused and team success is a lower priority. That said, I'd definitely choose Galvan if we're looking at SEC only, especially considering how well she's played in big games. Chavez has more points per game but shooting at 34.6% from the field is awful efficiency and negates some of her big scoring IMO.
