[huskersalways]

Big 10 needs to proof read. Tai Webster is listed correctly being from Nebraska on the 2nd team list but Northwestern on the 3rd team list.

 

[zebnatto]

In terms of COY, is breakdown of voting available?

 

[shields]

Way to go Corey!!

 

[bac2therac]

In terms of COY, is breakdown of voting available?

not sure that is availabe but I think Little Ricky won it in a landslide over Collins who was the only real other choice here besides maybe Painter for winning it all

Trying to figure out why Corey was honorable mention.

Voting was.....

Pitino 7
Pikiell 6
Collins 1

 

[shields]

My goodness, Greene ever have anything nice to say about Corey?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I count 4 point guards in the B1G Corey is better than. MSU, Indiana, Illinois and Purdue.

 

[bac2therac]

Voting was.....

Pitino 7
Pikiell 6
Collins 1

haha that must have been the RU board vote

 

[TruJerz]

Well deserved Corey. Keep working on your craft. Sky is the limit

 

[TruJerz]

Didn't realize Nigel Hayes wasn't a top 3-5 player in the conference this year. Surprised to see him on the 3rd team only

 

[shields]

I saw Hayes last week vs Iowa. Last two minutes bricked two foul shots and inbounded the ball twice and threw two bad passes. Think he is overrated.

 

[MV9000]

Nigel was very underwhelming. I think Corey was deserving of making an actual team. Not 1 obviously but above honorable mention.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

That was a joke. In a thread a month ago people were talking about him as a candidate

 

[Mr Magoo]

thanks. It must be too early for my sarcasm meter to be on.

 

[RUJMM78]

Corey was a better player last year on a worse team.

 

[DirtyRU]

Corey was a better player last year on a worse team.

No way in hell was Corey better last year, other than PPG.

 

[MV9000]

Corey was a better player last year on a worse team.

Corey was absolutely not the player he was this year. Defense was way up this year. Played a two way game instead of putting up inflated scoring numbers on a non-competitive team.

He played team ball.

 

[RUJMM78]

No way in hell was Corey better last year, other than PPG.

Points per game really matter on a team that is getting defeated by 20 points and no one else was a scoring threat.I think most opposing league coaches wouldn't share your viewpoint.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Corey played much better defense. Huge props for that. Offensively he wasn't even close to last year. Net Net he was a better player this year to me.

 

[bac2therac]

making all tourney teams is all about offense and stats unless you are a specialist on D. Corey may have been a better all around player but he was more of an impact player last year....thats what gets you on an all Big 10 team. There are a alot of great players in this league

 

[TheB1GTerp]

All-Big Ten basketball First Team

• Melo Trimble, Maryland

So why are Maryland fans such jerks? Well when you finish 2nd place again and only have ONE player on any of the B1G all-conference teams, but he's not POY, nor is your coach COY, you get seriously pissed off. So how the **** did we manage 2nd place if Melo is not player of the year if the rest of our team was average? Then wasn't our coach just amazing? Pitino didn't deserve it over Turgeon since MD was predicted to finish 10th, let alone Collins who should have won it who took NW the tournament for the first time in history. Now bulletin board material and more juice to just make us even bigger jerks for the next year.


B1G Standings:

Purdue 14-4 (25-6)

Maryland 24-7 (12-6)

Wisconsin 23-8 (12-6)

Minnesota 23-8 (11-7)

Northwestern 21-10 (10-8)

Michigan 20-11 (10-8)

Iowa 18-13 (10-8)

MSU 18-13 (10-8)

Illinois 18-13 (8-10)

Indiana 17-14 (7-11)

PedState 14-17 (6-12)

Nebraska 12-18 (6-12)

Rutgers 14-17 (3-15)

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

you are angry...very very angry.

other than Turgeon coach of the year (which i disagree with, but it is debateable) where do you think the panel went wrong

is this post for real.....Swanigan was the best player. Pitino did an amazing job..the team was 8-23 and they finished 23-8...a 15 game difference...lmao...Turgeron...sorry

your post is exactly why Maryland fans are jerks.

 

[higgins3]

Corey was "better" last year offensively because he could do whatever he wanted. Fig, you point out he was better offensively but you want him to be a pure pg. His habits came from last year.

Better is not the term for last year. More like he was given the keys. And he was playing against backups for 60% of the game.

For someoone that throws out kenpom and numbers so much, how do you not take this into consideration? The numbers are skewed heavily.

Corey will get a lot better from here on out with actual coaching.

Collins should have been coach of year, not Pitino.

Maryland, Northwestern and Minnesota were predicted to finish relatively the about the same this year, and you don't get credit for doing a lot better than last year, when last year you stunk up the joint. Minnesota did great, but they really sucked last year and sorry what Collins has done at Northwestern. Sorry winning at Northwestern is so much harder than winning at Maryland or Minnesota. Maryland started 3 freshman and in any other year I'd have said Pitino or Turgeon, but Collins did by far the best job this year.

Then there is Jordan Bohannon should not be on freshman team
Bohanan 9.8 pts,2.3 reb,4.5 assists
Cowan 10.4 , 3.9, 3.4 assists

Overall sentiment is this, I'm fine with Swanigan as POY, I'm just saying if MD finishes 2nd and you end up with only one player on ANY All-B1G teams:

1. either we had the best ****ing coaching job
2. Player of the year
3. We had some damn good players who at the minimum should have had all freshman or honorable mention
4. or they chalk it up to luck and we're not happy.

Purdue = 6 awards
Minnesota = 6 awards
Wisconsin = 5 awards
Iowa = 4 awards
Northwestern = 3 awards
Michigan = 3 awards
Indiana = 3 awards
MSU = 2 awards
Ohio State = 2 awards
Nebraska = 1 award
Penn State = 1 award
Maryland = 1 award
Rutgers = 1 award
Illinois = 1 award


So when Izzo and league talk about promoting league, maybe they should start without giving Maryland the same amount of awards as the worst teams in the conference.

Trying to figure out why Corey was honorable mention.

...because he's the one player on our team opposing coaches worry about offensively. Admittedly, his stats don't look all that good, but he passes the eye test. Anyone who watches our games knows who is RU's best player.

BTW, the stats you posted are for the first 18 games of the season. Not the regular season-ending stats.

Here are the current stats...

[Greene Rice FIG]

NO! Bohannon plays a much more demanding position (point guard) than Cowan. if you want to put Cowan over Tyler Cook I'll listen.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Mike Williams is our best player. Corey Sanders is the most talented.

the award isnt a lifetime acheivement award. Collins did his job over 4 years...Northwestern improved from last year but by how many games...two or three? He had a solid team and nucleaus back..that team did what they should have. Collins could have got it if they didnt really struggle a bit in at the halfway point

a 15 game swing in one season is almost unheard of and might mark one of the biggest turnarounds in college basketball history, thats why Pitino is a no brainer

 

[TheB1GTerp]

Cowan is our point guard.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Turgeon Collins or Pitino you can make a strong case for either of these guys to be COY. if I had a vote

1. pitino
2. turgeon
3. collins

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Cowan is our point guard.

Melo is the primary ball handler. he is the guy with the ball in his hands in a big spot. He is the guy you want the ball in his hands. He is a guy I'd kill to have on our team on the offensive end.

Look when Maryland went 2-10 then Fridge next year went 10-2 everyone was like yay and gave him COY. I mean if that's what you feel is a better job crapping the bed to lower the standards then having a great year.

Minnesota should NOT have been as bad the year before. Hence, Minnesota and NW were predicted to finish the same with MD. Like I said, Collins didn't **** up last year and Minnesota has better talent than NW.

I understand your logic, I simply don't think if you aren't going to judge them solely on this year, and you are going to compare last year, I see no reason why not to judge Collins last few years of bringing NW from never making tournament to making tournament and finishing 1 game behind Minnesota.

Basically Collins has done awesome over 3 years and because Pitino royally screwed up last year and did just as well as Collins with more talent this year, he deserves the award because of the turnaround he created?

 

[TheB1GTerp]

Melo is the primary ball handler. he is the guy with the ball in his hands in a big spot. He is the guy you want the ball in his hands. He is a guy I'd kill to have on our team on the offensive end.

There is zero difference between what Melo does for MD and Jok does for Iowa. Of course ball will be in hands of Melo or Jok on key plays. However, Cowan is point guard and distributor. Melo or Brantley play point when Cowan is out.

That being said Cowan is main ball handler, and ohh on defense Cowan is our best defender by far and locks on best scorer or opposing point guard.

Trying to figure out why Corey was honorable mention.

Did Issa really shoot 18% from 3pt range? Ouch. Though I still think his defense justifies his playing time.

Williams outrebounded Gettys, in 27mpg vs 22mpg.

Corey needs to shoot above 40% to be worthy of 2nd or 3rd team. I think he's capable.

Maryland fans are jerks because they have a successful program to post about? What in the world? Lmaooooooooooo

2. Player of the year
3. We had some damn good players who at the minimum should have had all freshman or honorable mention
4. or they chalk it up to luck and we're not happy.

1. I think Swanigan deserved POTY over Trimble.
2. I think it's hard to argue against Pitino. I think you could make a case for Painter too since he won the league when Purdue wasn't projected by anyone to do so but COTY is more about how bad you sucked last year and how much better you did this year and neither Maryland or Purdue sucked last year.
3. Agree on this one. A number of players listed on the 2nd/3rd and HM spots that I'd have dropped an picked up another Maryland player or two. I don't get all the Tai Webster love. Decent player but I'd give the spot to a decent player off a good team rather than a decent player off a bad team. Nigel Hayes should be first team ALL WHINE but other than that he just needs to go away. I know IU fans who hate James Blackmon and frankly I can't blame them. He is terrible on defense and doesn't even give effort on that end of the court. IU was better without him last season and probably would've been this season too. Take any of those guys out and add Maryland players imo.

 

[bac2therac]

Maryland fans are jerks because they have a successful program to post about? What in the world? Lmaooooooooooo

maybe they are jerks because they are over on the RU hoops arguing that their poor coach Turgeron didnt get coach of the year over a guy who took his team from 8 wins to 23 in one year
