I've been trolling (using that term loosely, I think I did it twice) ESPN comments sections posting things telling people to take a look at Dom's stats and play in regards to the wooden award and whatnot.
I know it's menial and useless, but it makes me feel like I'm doing my part to help, lol.

If we can steal Gtown or Nova game and beat Marquette, I think Dom wins BE POY
Why must we steal the G.Town game. It's at home. Our shots go in and there's do not. Seems right to me.

They are better than us would be the first reason.


Jr is right. KenPom has us winning by 1. I'd bet the line will be very similar to X but no worse than pick em. Most likely outcome, by a hair, is SJU over Gtown. Objectively, a win would not be a "steal"

I predict they are favored by 5

I know you can't or shouldn't judge too much from one game, but I just don't like the matchup. Every team is bigger than us, but we are more athletic and quicker than most teams. Gtown is also athletic and they have guys who can shoot.

No one voting for Dom apparently. Should he win? I am not sure but I would vote for him but I am extremely biased. I think he should no doubt be in the conversation but it doesn't seem like he really is. My thinking when evaluating these awards is how good would the team be without him. Without Hilliard Nova is still stacked but obviously not a top ten team most likely. Without Dunn or without Pointer PC and SJU are going nowhere.

Dom might get the Most Improved Player as a reward for his outstanding play this season. Unfortunately, I don't think he can get votes for BE Player of the Year for a team that has a .500 record.

It should be Kris Dunn.   But some favor best player on best team.  Hopefully Dom gets a vote or 2

If it's betters best player on the best team the it's clear who it is. If it's jsut the best all around player who impacts his team the most it's Dunn or Pointer.

After john gasaways latest top 25 college basketball players (insider) didn't include Dom I decided to email him, pointing out doms stats in his last 10 and respectfully asking him to carefully consider him for the list or even an honorable mention next time.

Shock of all shocks, gasaway emailed me back the next day.  He agreed that sirdom has been tremendous inside the arc and noted that his shot blocking is probably underappreciated because of obekpa. He said he definitely has been following sir'doms two way excellence and the hardest thing about the top 25 players is there are so many worthy options.

Really impressed he took the time to wrote me back and who knows, w a win against gtown and another impressive performance maybe sir'dom will appear on gasaways list next week. Fingers crossed.

I think Hilliard is the right pick and I love Dom so so much.

Nova probably wins every game they've won this year without Hillard. It's probably the opposite with Dom Pointer and St.John's.

Off the top of my head they would not have won @ Butler without him.

The Dominator getting more respect--Player of the week in the BE as announced today.  If he continues his performance over the last 2 games and we are successful in both, who knows as far as POY.  Funny but watching footage of Mase with the Knicks this w/e in memory of him, it reminded me of what The Dominator does for us.

Hilliard has struggled the last two games. Dunn and Henton are likely to split a lot of votes. If Dom goes out and lights it up the last few games he has a real shot here. If someone told you Dom would be a among the 2-3 favorites for the BE player of the year 5 months ago we would have ripped them apart. Really glad for the either way but would love him to win for himself and the program.

Hillard must feel the Dominator breathing down his neck.

I think one of the problems will be that Dom has only won player of the week once.   Even if he stands out today and Saturday, that's two, at most.
Henton, Dunn, even D'angelo all have 2 or more wins.
