4 Lady Vols earn SEC Awards

[sisaq]

Keys block much more impressive!!!!

When lady vols played SC that's when I knew that key is about 6'6

Everybody CAN return how many not so sure we know Keyen Green will return i think Rennia, KK, and Jaiden are out. I also think we may see a transfer in or out so good question

Loved the way Green played before injury. Wish KK would stay for another year. Looks like Lady Vols will be strong next year.

Ummmm he won the conference championship after being picked 4th in the preseason.

Similarly, Georgia finished 4th after being picked 8th in the preseason, so I've got no qualms about her winning the award, but to say the coach of the conference championship "has no argument" to the the COY award is a ridiculously stupid statement.

????

 

[volman128]

It's a fact.

Come up with an argument for why Joni should have won over the SEC regular season champ who's team was picked to finish 4th, but took the title away from the prohibitive pre-season favorite. I'll wait.

I mean, Georgia was picked to finish 8th and finished 4th. The award really should've gone to Blair, but I don't really have any issue with Joni winning it given Georgia overperformed, too.

My apologies. I misread your post. I thought you meant that Gary Blair had no argument for the award. I'm editing the post now.

That award was Blair's 13-1 in the conference and won the SEC Regular season title...and lets not even mention his perfect record against ranked teams this season

Yeah I think it should've gone to Blair and I expected it to go to him, too. But given how Georgia overperformed, I don't have issues with Joni winning it.

Rhyne Howard leads her team in points (19.8), rebounds (7.5) and assists (3.7) per game.

She actually did better than that in conference play, which is what the awards are based off of. She averaged 21.6/7.9/3.9. She also averaged over two steals a game and had a 2.25 A/TO ratio.

Honestly, I've got no idea why anyone has an issue with her getting POY. The next best is Rennia and she just doesn't have those numbers, although not much below.

I think Rennia or Dungee could have won the POY... don’t have a problem with Howard getting it but the two i mentioned were pretty awesome. One of the three looks like she doesn’t even like her teammates... take a guess at which one

She's a great scorer and I think lead the conference season in scoring, but she's lacking in all the other categories.

 

[volman128]

BTW, Destiny Slocum also should've made the first team over Cooke.

she is a pretty good defender too

Defensive skills aren't taken into consideration for POY or SEC teams. That's why there's an all-defensive team and a defensive POY award.

WTBS, she had fewer steals than Howard in SEC play.

 

[Nute Gunray]

Real talk. I’m glad she said it. Everyone in the SEC was talking about Howard like ESPN talks about Bueckers from day 1 this year. It was already decided she would be POY before any games were played this season because the media gave her the most attention. Dungee had to hang 40 on one of the best defensive programs/coaches in women’s college BB history to even get in the conversation.

VolBall09, this is Geno, Chelsea didn't score 40 points, she scored 37. Can't you count! LOL, hahaha. Seriously, though, this decision really hurt Chelsea, you can tell she is hurt from her voice. She should have won POY hands down. Her heroic play in the UConn game was just one of her many highlights.

you would think it would b taken into consideration if it makes the player more complete

 

[volman128]

Well yeah, but if that were the case then the SEC DPOY would automatically be all-SEC, and that's not always the case.

Because Dungee was the only player mighty enough to slay the UConn dragon this season (a nonconference game btw) so she's our hero. And we really don't like Howard.

Your logic and facts are meaningless here...

 

[PG1]

Your opinion based on what exactly?

Davis had more points, rebounds, assists (with a much better A/TO ratio), steals and a better FG% in conference play.

Who was our most consistent player? Brought it every single game? The answer is Burrell.

 

[kell7517]

Play that victim card.

Come on now. If that’s the case. It does go both ways now don’t it?

 

[kell7517]

Guys watch out for salary she's another star nobody kn yet

I think she has a lot of potential. But she commits a lot of fouls. Hopefully that will go down and her shots as well.

SEC Tournament: Half of SEC basketball teams coached by Black women
Diversity is definitely a point of emphasis, as it should be. Whether it played into COY voting is up for discussion, especially when the frontrunner by a wide margin, an old white guy, did not win. And whether that would be right or wrong if it did occur is even more thorny. I wish that question was able to be discussed in a rational manner without resorting to name calling and stereotyping because its so important.

I'm curious who the voters are for these awards. My contention is most of the voting is lazy, a quick glance at the stat sheet. Not sure the voters follow all that closely, and most certainly don't approach it with the nuance that would have made them look at Re's case for POY closely enough to make a difference.

All of these posts will probably, and frankly rightfully so, be removed because they are too politically focused.
So my final point is - if you don’t recognize that if you are born a white male in the US you automatically have a head start there is no amount of statistics I can list that will disabuse you of your victimhood.
Any measurable outcome points to this privilege such as pay rates for the same work, corporate board membership, ratio of elected government officials, mortality rates and on and on.
If you have problems with black women why in the world do you follow WBB?
Anyway be happy in your victimhood. It will get you nowhere.
Feel free to start removing these Freak. My apologies I didn’t let the original ridiculous comment go.

Good lord. The amount of times you contradict yourself is unreal. You're sinking your own argument without even knowing you're doing it.
