What does it say about the MAC that a MAC POY hardly gets playing time on a Big Ten team? He never won MAC POY Thank you for clarifying that. But I was responding to the post that said he believes he would have won the MAC POY this year.

It says that every situation is different. Shannon Evans went to a decent Arizona State team and became one of their two best players. Matt Stainbrook went to Xavier and became an important starter on a Sweet 16 team. Abdel Nader became an important piece at Iowa Stat's Sweet 16 team and went to the NBA.

Stainbrook was an interesting dude. He was huge (horizontally) at Western, went to X and slimmed down considerably and was a really solid player.

The kid has moved on you guys should to. The more appropriate analogy is that the kid went from working as an assistant manager at the "Dollar Store" to working as part of a slick, hip, and effective team at "APPLE." The kid made the right choice, so give him his due and move on as Bobcatzblitz suggests.

So sad when the Dollar store eliminated Apple from the NCAA tournament. when you think of us that way, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. no backbone whatsoever from so many of our fans.

I mean what a horrid decision I agree it was a horrid decision, but do you really think he would have been a high round NBA draft pick?
