Monte is NOT a Cousy Award Finalist

[Cyclonepride]

That award is dead to me.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Who picks these finalists? Honestly, I have no clue.

 

[cyinne]

Stats in a better form:

Should add in Jawun Evans stats too- could make a case for him also....
PPG- 18.7
APG- 6.3
A/TO- 2.25
RPG- 3.3
SPG- 1.9

More info with less colors.

I'm boycotting this Cousy mfer.

 

[DeereClone]

Mason, Ball, Monte are the top 3 IMO. Evans 4th. Berry and Brunson on there is a total joke, and Williams-Goss is good, but with the poor SOS he needed more impressive numbers to be a legit candidate.

Whoever picked the finalists should be ashamed of themselves for such horrid work.

Please put Evans' numbers in there, too. Further points out the absurdity.

 

[ppclone]

Just because anger feels kinda good right now, i'll add this: looking at the other press releases for All Americans.....neither Berry or Brunson are included in either list (USA Today and NBC).

Here's the chart with Evans added

 

[CyCal]

Brunson:
14.8 PPG
53.6% FG
38.5% 3 Point
88.2% FT
2.7 Rebounds/game
4.3 Assists/game
2.2 TO/game

Berry:
15.1 PPG
45.3% FG
42.6% 3 Point
83.2% FT
3.3 Rebounds/game
3.7 Assists/game
2.0 TO/game

Morris:
16.2 PPG
46.2% Fg
39.1% 3 Point
79.6% FT
4.6 Rebounds/game
6.2 Assists/game
1.0 TO/game

Monte scores more, assists more, rebounds more, and this isn't even mentioning the staggering assist to turnover

Well there it is plain as day... both Berry and Brunson knock down their free throws at a better rate. Game over.

 

[CycloneVet]

Welp time to go on a March tear Monte Morris. Be a legend in March. **** them all.

 

[ClonesFTW]

LOL.

That is all.

Must not have wanted more than 1 from a conference? Only excuse I can think of.

Maybe this year they considered leading your team to victories part of a PG role in the model of ultimte winner Bob Cousy. Five finalists ranked 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 in current AP poll. No idea. I agree Morris should be on the list.

 

[rholtgraves]

Evans and Morris should have been on instead of Brunson and Berry.

 

[rholtgraves]

I think Berry and Brunson got the east coast bias treatment.

 

[Cloneon]

In reading this thread (and several others) lauding the unbelievable statistics Monte has compiled I just to need to know whose door we knock on to slap them silly. This award wreaks of favoritism slanted towards the almighty dollar.

The teams are rewarded for team finishes. This is an individual award and I don't see any of these players' names on the AP poll.

Jawun should be on there with Frank and Monte' as well. I'm confident that they felt the need to spread it around conferences rather than rewarding the stellar point guard play in the Big 12.

I don't think they would have any problem putting the PGs from Duke, UNC, and Louisville together on the list if they were all worthy.

Stats don't mean **** when you're from ISU. Ask Troy Davis. Bunch of junk...

I can almost guarantee this was a string of actual thoughts by the committee:

Member 1: "Well, we've got Mason, NWG, Brunson, and Ball. Who should our fifth be?"

Member 2: "What about Monte Mor-"

Member 1: "****, we forgot a player from the ACC!"

Member 2: "Aw hell, who's North Carolina's point guard? Throw them on there and call it good."

Member 1: "Brilliant!"
