Only team with no one on 1st or 2nd team or All-Rookie. Sigh.

Marshall over Zegarowski is a joke

All Rookie teams are meaningless to me. It's not a high bar, we had 3 last year and stunk. None were close to all conference players this year and 2 transferred out. It's more opportunity driven than an indication of talent.

Not a “high bar” but you have to be able to evaluate for context and understand the relative strength of the achievement.

Also “none were close” is a bit silly considering teovdidnt come close to playing a conference game and the third was on pace until he got hurt...

Seton Hall’s Gill Named Defensive Player of the Year & Most Improved Player Creighton’s Mahoney Selected for Sixth Man Award Baldwin, Mosely and Holt Share Sportsmanship Award

3/9/2020 9:59:40 AM

NEW YORK – Seton Hall senior Romaro Gill has been named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year and BIG EAST Most Improved Player. Creighton forward Denzel Mahoney has won the BIG EAST Sixth Man Award. Due to a tie in the voting, the BIG EAST Sportsmanship Award will be shared by Butler’s Kamar Baldwin, Georgetown’s Jagan Mosely and Providence’s Emmitt Holt.

The league’s head coaches select the award winners and they are not permitted to vote for their own players.

The BIG EAST will announce the remaining individual awards: Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, Freshman of the Year and outstanding Men’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete at a press conference at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, March 11, at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Gill, a 7-2 center from St. Thomas, Jamaica, has been the defensive force that has helped fuel the Seton Hall success and concluded with a share of the BIG EAST regular-season. The senior averaged 7.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, a league-leading 3.2 blocks and ranked second in field goal percentage, making 62.8 percent. As a defensive force, he helped the Pirates lead the BIG EAST in field goal percentage defense in league games, holding opponents to 40.9 percent. He twice blocked eight shots in a conference game. Gill’s improvement this season was significant. Last year, he was a deep reserve on the bench, averaging 2.3 points and 2.7 rebounds while playing only 10.7 minutes per game.

Creighton’s Mahoney did not become eligible until December after transferring from Southeast Missouri State, but he made an immediate impact. Coming off the bench, the 6-5 guard-forward from Oviedo, Fla., is averaging 12.0 points for the Bluejays, who are co-champions with Seton Hall and Villanova. In Creighton’s three wins over top-10 teams (Seton Hall twice and at Villanova), Mahoney averaged 18.3 points. He has reached double figures in 14 of 21 games. In BIG EAST play, he led the league in free throw shooting, making 89.8 percent.

The Sportsmanship Award winners are strong contributors to their respective teams on and off the court. Baldwin, a 6-2 senior from Winder, Ga., who is a four-year starter who leads the Bulldogs in scoring with a 16.2 average. A Butler player has won or shared the Sportsmanship Award in five of the last seven years. Mosely, a 6-3 senior from Marlboro, N.J., has earned a reputation as a strong defender and leader who plays the game cleanly. He is averaging 8.4 points per game. Providence’s Emmitt Holt has come back from serious abdominal surgery that caused him to miss the 2017-18 season and most of the 2018-19 campaign. This season, the 6-7 graduate student from Rochester, N.Y., is averaging 4.8 points and 3.7 rebounds while playing 15.2 minutes per game.

What did you expect from a team that lost 6 of it top 8 rotation players to transfer or injury? The two that remained - Pickett and Mosely - are team players and not the type who stand out for individual accolades based on their style of play. Maybe we wish it wasn't the way it is, but to comment on how 'sad' it is to me just seems like kicking someone when you have been aware for months that they are down. sheeez!

In what world is Terrell Allen not one of the top 8 players from this year’s original roster? Don’t need hyperbole/to cut down one of our best players to make your point...

Blair outperforms Mac once again but the JUCO transfer and raw freshman wing were apparently above him as well in the top 8.

He’s not tearing him down. It’s not hyperbole and it isn’t about Allen. It’s about how good the players we actually lost were. They were growing into their roles just as Allen was early in the year.....all 6 have at least G league potential...

Well, we could just point out what the pecking order was when we had a full roster. Blair played poorly early on and then improved, yet you act like our lost players were at their ceiling despite having better tools and game. Weird logic man.

Or we can just call it what it is and say Ewing is no idea who to play as he has shown for 3 years now.

Do you really think the trying different players out early in the ooc with a loaded roster is akin to having “no idea who to play”? You think balancing short and long term interests in unadvisable?

I think sacrificing his first 2 years playing for the future has shown to be a terrible strategy as proven by the results. I have no faith he knows who to play when as shown by last night. He only had 1 personnel decision to make and he somehow blew that one.
