Congrats to Rob Rucker!

Dang that 2nd team could give the 1st team a run for their money in a 40 minute game.

Yes, it's raining and I'm at work with nothing better to think about.

Stephens should have been first team not third team, otherwise no problem with them.

I don't know. First team would have a pretty serious advantage getting to play six guys.

that guy comes off the bench for the first team and the 3rd team is split between the other 2 with 2nd team getting the first pick.

I'll take Johnson and Stephens for the 2nd squad.

I think that Stephens was such a surprise this year and he's such an oddity with not being able to practice, etc; that there are skeptics out there.

As long as we're shuffling Memphis players around, I'd move Thomas out and slide Chris Crawford in. He's personally won a few games for us this year breaking down zones with his shooting. He struggled the first half season but was on fire the second half. Even though he never looks "serious" out there, he's probably our best traditional defensive player.

There must have been a tie in the vote totals for 5th place, hence 6 on All Conference "1st" team.
