Monte is NOT a Cousy Award Finalist
- Thread starter ZZZ
- Start date
Picture Villanova without Brunson or North Carolina without Berry. They are still top 10 teams. Now look at Iowa State without Morris or OSU without Evans. Neither are sniffing the NCAA tournament.
Berry and Brunson aren't even the best players on their own team.

I'm sure LE's comment on this would be-- "Monte would be in the top five if his jersey said Kansas on it".
"This 30-member committee is composed of Hall of Famers, head coaches, sports information directors, the media, and Cousy himself." I am NOT surprised as those types listed above have not been signing Monte's praises. I am NOT agreeing with the selection process, but it was written on the wall.
I haven't seen a lot of Villanova games but I went to Seton Hall - Nova on FEB 18. Brunson had 22 pts on 7-for-7 shooting and 10 assists. Granted, he had 3 TOs but he was phenomenal. I was blown away. He absolutely carved up a good opponent that game.
That's not his whole body of work, but he showed me he could dominate a game.
Frankly, I thought Monte might get screwed out out the short list because his game is so subtle-yet-efficient-and-beautiful. Those of us who have paid attention to him for 4 years get the beauty of his game though.
I feel like the argument could be made for Mason, Morris, Ball, or Williams-Goss to win the award and everyone would say, "I get it." The other two, WTF?
Use the snub ... win the Big12 tourney and make a deep run in the NCAA.

Its the system, I would have to say I am not surprised. Putting up with this is getting really tiring. I have been at it too long. Sometimes I curse the day Johnny Orr made me an ISU basketball fan. Monte is the best. That is all I have to say.
Monte is the best point guard in college basketball with separation. There are better scoring guards, nobody is in his league as far as a point guard.
He's the best ball handler in an entire generation of college basketball players.

Drop the crack pipe. Entire generation of college basketball players? Monte Morris is not even the best point guard point in the Big 12 this year because it's Frank Mason.
At point? MM over Mason, shove that pipe up your ***.
This reminds me of waaaay back when Byron Hanspaard was selected for the Doak Walker award over Troy Davis. Academics was a supposed factor, and granted, Troy was not a rocket scientist, but he beat Hanspaard's 0.0 GPA by just a touch. It's about greasing palms and lining wallets anymore.
