Great honors for all three men and all well earned and deserved.

If you would have seen this at the beginning of the season, would you have believed it? I certainly would not have. It shows what a GREAT job Byrd has done with this team.

I could have seen JJ and Craig being awarded first and second team honors but would not have expected a 23-8 season, thus Rick's COTY honor is definitely a surprise.

Congrats to all three. I wouldn't have forseen JJ getting it when he was 1 of 16 from 3-pt early prior to the UNC game.

For Byrd, what can you say. I give him credit for winning the OVC regular season in a year most considered a rebuilding year.

Also, give credit to Prohm at Murray. He did a tremendous coaching job with his team in a rebuilding year.
