Big East POY

if kansas and kentucky play in the national chip game who does everybody think would win?

i choose kansas. because of experience mostly and because i would take upperlassmen collins and aldrich over freshmen wall and cousins.

I'd have to give an edge to Kansas, agreed, though if the KY team was allowed to mature to upperclassmen, which of course they won't, they'd be tremendous.

absolutly. i bledso wall and cousins all stayed they would dominate probaly starting next year

They're already dominating, I mean their 29-2.  If they stayed two more years I think they'd be one of the best teams EVER assuming they stayed healthy and grew individually and as a team.  But given the total lack of structure in Cal's offense maybe they've already hit their full stride.  We'll never know.

Andy Ratuins in the mix?

Player of the Year
Several players received mention for the league’s most prestigious award – Villanova’s Scottie Reynolds, Syracuse teammates Wesley Johnson and Andy Rautins, Marquette’s Lazar Hayward and West Virginia’s Da’Sean Butler.
“I’ve thought about this a lot and it’s not easy,’’ Jeff Goodman, national college basketball writer for FoxSports.com, said. “It’s about as tough as deciding any post-season award. You can make a case for about five or six.
“To me, with Harangody being out at end of year, you remove him from the equation,’’ Goodman said. “Personally, I would go with Wes Johnson. I know a lot of Villanova fans will kill me, but Wes does more than score the basketball. He rebounds, he plays well in that zone, he’s unselfish. I’d go with Wes Johnson, but not by much.’’

The choice came down to Reynolds and Rautins for ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla.
“I am so torn between Andy Ratuins and Scottie Reynolds,’’ Fraschilla said. “If there’s an Andy Rautins fan club, I want to be president. But I’ve got to give it to Scottie. I think Scottie’s pulled Villanova’s chestnut out of the fire five or six times this season.’’
