right on point here. Those 4 have been probably the best over the course of the season, but we have 3 guys who deserve to be somewhere on the top 2 teams
Talent level on the BE is just crazy and good coaching and competition make it hard for guys to rack up stats every single game. I'm hopeful Baylor, Trey, and Kalk all end up on one of the top 2 teams ,but imagine they'd all trade that for a Final Four Trip

Personally think it would be trash if Newton made first team shooting .374 from the field and .278 from 3 in conference games. Yes, he is a great player on a great team but those numbers don’t deserve all conf accolades. I’m fine with him being 2nd team when you encompass the season as a whole along with everything else he brings to the table. You don’t see dudes hitting .220 win mvp in baseball so him winning POY is laughable and would just be east coast bias.
