B12 Awards

[Deleted User 89]

Dok was fronted by three inside yesterday and often all five would collapse on him if he got the feed. That was a monster game under the circumstances. So he has improved immensely and probably deserves POY for the Big XII.

^^^^^^^

Doke Conference POY, Marcus Defensive POY, Dok and Dot on first team all conference.

Fuck those awards.

FFS, Dotson leads the league in steal and doesn’t make All-Defensive Team.

Garrett 3rd team? LOL

Self goes 17-1 and gets overlooked due to living up to expectations.

I have long suspected sour grapes playing a role in the coaches’ awards.

I get voting for Drew, but when you dig into Big 12 results only, he didn’t surpass expectations much more than Self and Self set the conference record for wins.

[PhDhawk]

Yeah, and this year particularly, there's no reason to spread awards around. 8 teams sucked ass, no reason to reward mediocrity.

Well I was pretty close.
Garrett shoulda been on 2nd team.
Self obviously deserves it but it’s more of a exceed expectations award now.

Congratulations to Udoka!

I'm certain he set or tied the wins record for any major conference?

Virginia was 17-1 in 2018 and then lost to 16 seeded UMBC by 20.

[pdub]

Not that I'm implying that would happen to us.
I was just trashing on Virginia's 17-1 record.

Yes, but that’s just meeting expectations I guess.

Finishing 2nd, 2 games out and losing 3 of last 5 after being picked 2nd: groundbreaking.

[pdub]

It's weaksauce for sure.
I get that he can't win it every year but this was one of those years where it's a no brainer.

[PhDhawk]

Didn't self win NCOY in a season when he didn't win the conference award? Could see that happening again.

Giving the award only to coaches who exceed expectations only makes sense if it's a first or second year coach, since assembling the team is part of coaching.

Beard won last year and I think Eddie Sutton ( my how time flies ) won when we finished 2nd to Oklahoma State way back in 04.
