Rice and Burke both great players
Rice and Burke both great players
Rice was physically dominant and his team had the the ultimate team success.
Burke is a bit small with average speed and team has been underachieving. The next few weeks might determine his legacy.

so by the transitive property of college basketball, he should also be wooden award winner in due course right? since his only real competition for that was oladipo, and he's already beaten the fool.

About some vote-splitting between Burke and Oladipo that could lead to Porter or Olynyk (or whatever his name is) being chosen.

Honestly had to Google who Otto Porter was. Guess I'm more of a B1G junkie than a CBB junkie. Highly touted player though.

You got me looking
You got me looking
You got me to look up some history. Cazzie didn't win the Naismith Award for the simple reason that it didn't exist yet. That may be why some say that Trey Burke could be Michigan's first national player of the year. They are focused on the Naismith, which started in 1969.
Interestingly, it was mentioned that Glen Rice won in 1988-89, but he only won the Naismith. The AP award (which Cazzie won in 1966) was given to Sean Elliott from Arizona in 1988-89. I remember beating Arizona in the semifinals in 1989. Good times.
Meanwhile, the Wooden Award (so are there three POY awards?) started in 1976-77. No Cazzie also. Also no Glen Rice; Elliott won that one also in 1988-89.

Despite our recent heart-breaking loss
Despite our recent heart-breaking loss
I feel like this team is poised for one hell of a run for the NCAA championship. I think Trey and THJ are going to take this team deep in the tourney with Stauskas and GRIII coming up with many clutch shots, and JMO playing stifling D to shut down other teams bigs. This TEAM knows the challenges ahead and I believe is ready to take anyone on right now. No matter what happens in the B1G tourney, they will redeem themselves in the NCAA tourney. Rebounds and free throws are easier to fix than poor shooting and poor defense.

Yep. Playing on neutral
Yep. Playing on neutral
Yep. Playing on neutral courts is huge for our young team. Take away the crazy crowds, weird officiating and we can beat anyone.
I'm not going to argue that playing on our homecourt is a disadvantage as a whole bc it certainly has helped us on defense HOWEVA there is a chance that our young team gets so hyped on offense at home that it throws us off a bit. Ex: Beilein having to sit Trey at the beginning of the game yesterday to calm him down - and he's our most poised player typically
