Doyle also led the league in assists (over 6 per game, about double of Arella) which is direct points to her team.
Look I wanted Arella to win too, and was hoping for a split vote, but Doyle is hardly a bad choice, especially since she led her team to a top 3 finish when little was expected of Iowa going into season.
yeah. not too much expectation here:

Notice anybody missing? And Rutgers finshed 5th and wasn't expected to do much either. Not a very strong arguement. Better to just say the B1G doesn't like to be so wrong and clearly you're not getting any Media help from Mid-America.
