Only thing I can quibble with is they put Tahjai Teague on the first team over Preston. Maybe they wanted at least one forward because the rest of the first team is LCJ, Turner, Graves, and German.

I remember Bassett wearing a big bandage on his shoulder (signifying a chip) up in Cleveland after being snubbed for ALL-MAC. He pretty much dominated all the way to Providence.

Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

If it is close, they go with the guy on his way out and figure the other guy will get it next year. Preston should be 1st team, without a doubt. He was: 1st in Minutes 1st in Assists 1st in A/TO ratio 4th in FG pct 5th in 3 pt pct (didn't realize that did you?) 7th in scoring 8th in steals 13th in rebounds (1st among guards) 18th in FT pct If you run the numbers for conference games only, most these rankings actually improve. Had he scored 1-2 more point per season, they would've voted for him...as history has proven their ballot starts with the scoring leaders. He is essentially being punished for choosing to dish it to get a better shot for the team rather than chuck up more shots to get more points. He is the most relied upon player in the MAC, and the most complete player in the MAC. Whatever.

Who knows what's gonna happen with the other three but they're all Juniors. I HATE the logic of giving it to the upper classmen. Give it to the best or the player with the most impact. Who knows what next year holds for these guys. They may never have another season like this one.

The man who arguably is the player of the year in the conference doesn't even make 1st Team All-MAC. Best thing that could ever happen. Dude is going to explode even more in the next two years. #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top Recovering Journalist General User Member Since: 8/17/2010 Location: Cleveland, OH Post Count: 1,839 Status: Offline     RE: All-MAC teams announced    Posted: 3/11/2020 11:56:28 AM  Andrew Ruck wrote: I maintain that voters favor upper classmen every year in the voting.

The upperclassmen bias is so predictable and consistent that no fan base can even take it personally. But it makes these awards a joke, especially POY in years without a clearly dominant player when some schmuck senior wins (see: Kool, David).

Remember how most of us were flummoxed with him floating around the perimeter last year? Give credit to Big Ben and the Boals staff for adding a very tough inside game to his repertoire. He is now one of the best low post players in the league. Agree that Preston was good enough to be first team. But as you say, upperclassmen get the advantage. Also, we finished 8th. I don't really have a quibble with the first team selections. But Jay is definitely on their level.

If the staff can get him a little stronger, I think he can see a few minutes. He adds another dimension to our team. I know coach had mentioned getting him stronger. He can add some flexibility to our offense and defense. He is fun to watch and great to talk to.

Adds another wrinkle to our offense as all of these guys mature. He has good hops to make people shoot over him. He can hit the three and is a decent passer. He needs to continue to improve in all of that and get stronger GO BOBCATS GEORGE Back to Top Deciduous Forest Cat General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Ohio Post Count: 4,302 Status: Offline     RE: All-MAC teams announced    Posted: 3/13/2020 12:28:07 PM  SBH wrote: Kinggeorge4 wrote: I love Springs.

If you watch the videos of him in high school it was clear that he had not receive much coaching growing up. He would stand on the wrong side of the guy he was guarding and didn't even try to box out. Frankly, I didn't think he'd ever actually play for us. I even PM'd a couple people and told them what a horrible recruit he was. But the year off did wonders for him. Not sure he's every going ever be an All-MAC performer but he definitely gives us a different dimension. And even though he's still a project I'll admit I was wrong about him.
