In case nobody noticed, the only team where Gatens even got a mention was on the fans' team. None of the writers picked him, or even mentioned him as a second-place finisher. What this means: Iowa has more fans who voted. That also explains Cartwright's presence on the fans' team, since people didn't really have the benefit of seeing his improved play, unlike the writers.
That said, after White at the 5 and McGee as the 6th man, ISU didn't have any players that were clear-cut favorites. You could make a case for just about any of their players, but none were "WTF!!!!" snubs.
