Correction, the St Mary's and San Francisco road games are Quadrant 1, the home games against them would be Quadrant 2.
Shayok makes too many turnovers and can’t make a layup.
If Monte Morris didn't get the Cousy award after just continuing his senior year what he did pretty much his entire career only better than there's not a chance that a guy like Shayok is going to be on this kind of award list.
I'd say maybe if he were breaking NCAA records since he was a freshman, but see my first paragraph.
Man, I'm still pretty pissed about that, haha.
Right but that's my explanation as to why the pollsters love them more than normal. Tennessee is 1, Duke is 2 and UNC I think is overrated but thats just me. I think Gonzaga is legit but probably not as great as the AP thinks they are.
He was dumbfoundingly good shooting the ball down the stretch last night. Incredible treys there at the close. POY candidate for sure.
He also missed the part where he made several layups and dunks, only turned it over 2 times compared to 5 assists, had 16 points 8 rebounds, and made all 4 free throws.
It is important to point out that when a team like Gonzaga is seeded lower even though every metric says they are a Top 5 team, it doesn't punish them as much as it punishes the teams they are playing in the tournament.
Shayok isn't flashy. He just comes to work, kicks ass, and leaves.
I'm okay with this, but that's not a recipe for awards. I bet he's not on that many ESPN Top plays.

If getting open to get the ball and get fouled because you're the guy OU doesn't want the ball to go to was a stat, MS was very efficient last night.
Yeah, they were already planning on giving the award to Zion Williamson before the season even started.
Our 6 wins is the lowest of anyone in the Top 20. I wouldn't have guessed that.
They are both hanging around the 40 range in the analytics models. About the same as K-State.

I'm guessing that this looks dramatically different in rankings other than NET?
1. Selection committee probably checked out CF and saw calls for Shayok to be benched the last two games.
2. They beat one good team in Maui. I can't remember who exactly, but I'm thinking it was the 95-96 Chicago Bulls.
POY but he wasn't even in your top 5? I guess I didnt realize an all conference 2nd teamer could win POY.
I'm not entirely sure how the quadrants in NET are defined, but in the way KenPom defines A-tier and B-tier games, Gonzaga is 5-2 in A-tier games and 4-0 in B-tier games, so it's pretty similar to the NET quadrants.
Iowa State is A: 4-3 and B: 3-2 for comparison.
