Also, kudos to Thompson for coming in 4th and getting 2 first place votes. Hopefully, he comes back and wins it in his senior season!

If most of this years team returns next year a conference championship and NCAA appearance are a real possibility and I like both of our newcomers

I'm not, if mostly for the lack of other quality candidates this season. Owens looked like a great choice before Miami lost 6 of their last 8 conference games, which isn't unexpected for such a young team. Whitford also did a good job, but BSU choked it up against two of the worst teams in the conference to finish the season (and somehow backed into a bye).

Really, the only two guys that I'd rate ahead of Murphy were the two that finished above him in the standings: Kowalczyk and Oats. Murphy was very disappointing to start conference play, but a lot of that was offset, if not erased, by our torrid finish against the toughest part of the schedule. He deserves credit for winning the tough games and putting us in good position to win the conference tournament, which is what garners the first place votes.

Well said Sam the team was on the mat with ref counting down and the team got up and is playing with a vengeance last Fridays game was one of the best hoops games I have watched in a long time

oh man! i'm so happy for Timmy B. great honor to a very deserving guy.
