At least honorable mention for having finished 2nd in rebounding and in the top 20 in scoring and minutes played.

I love my team and there were some good things even about this team, BUT losing teams do not get players picked for ALL-ANYTHING. Nor should they. Thatâs like that ridiculous new thing in youth sports where everyone gets a trophy no matter what happened during the year. HA! Iâm old school. Can you tell?

I agree. Hard to b**** when youâre losing games.
Matt Vatour gives his â2 centsâ on his blog at the Daily Hamphsire GazetteâŚ
I had planned to do this earlier, but I've had lots of loose ends to tie up before heading to the Jersey Shore. Here's a couple quick thoughts before bed.Media and coaches vote for for A-10 Preseason awards, but just the coaches for the postseason ones, which works out well because it allows the media to pick apart the awards without remorse.
I give credit to the A-10 for going back to three all-conference teams of five players instead of last yearâs two teams of 10 foolishness.
I did find it interesting that the leagueâs first team included no guards.
I think Carl Elliott got robbed. GWâs do anything point guard could have been an MVP candidate for all he brings to that roster and heâs on the third team?
Justin Doellman is a fine player, but Drew Lavender should have been a first teamer.
Mark Tyndale leads the A-10 in scoring in conference games and is only honorable mention. Seems to me that performance in conference games should be given the most weight, certainly not less.
If Travis Ford hadnât hyped his team up so much, heâd be coach of the year as UMass already has 10 more wins that last year.

Stunner. From what NA said, out of league games donât matter.

If youâre going to be a dipshit about it, letâs track the conversation:
[QUOTE=S9er]Finishing sub 500 and in the lower part of the league will do that.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=NinerAdvocate]little redundant, dontcha think? sub 500 = lower half.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=S9er]No, not really. You can go 16-12 and finish in the lower half of the league[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=NinerAdvocate]Overall record is meaningless to conference finish.[/QUOTE]
Word of advice: If youâre going to try cheap attacks, at least have them make sense.
'preesh.

You fired the first shot, I just happend to take the last. If you canât follow along, Iâm sorry.

Everyone whoâs complaining about D.A. not making better than 3rd teamâŚyou do know that f.g.% does get taken into consideration,right? Maybe even defense,a little bit.

If the Niners had played a little bit of defense, there is a good chance theyâd have had this Wednesday as a day off.

âŚhitting 70% of our FTs would have helped too.
Next year weâll be the All-freshman team with Leemire 1st team. Will Phil and Dew be eligible for freshman team?

Every team in the A-10, with the exception of St. Bonaventure, is represented on that list. Thatâs 13 out of 14 teams. That includes teams that went 13-3 in the A-10, one that went 3-13, and everything else in between. The Big O needs to let it go.
