Officially recognized that is
Just thought it was interesting on how uncommon the sweep against Purdue is.

I was pretty sure
the last sweep of Purdue was 92-93.
Regardless, congrats to Trey!

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.

I'm actually worried
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.

Forgive them, Cazzie. They're young.
30.8 points per game. Before the three-point shot.

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.

Plot Twist
Oladipo beats Burke out for national POY, Burke gets mad, vows revenge, and returns to Michigan for his Junior season to prove a point.

Can't say I'd argue with that, either. I think we as Michigan fans really know our players and know the flaws Tim still has in his game; that might help us be honest with ourselves, giving Aaron Craft the nod.

Plays hard but
Craft looks like he is doing the most, but he has had more 3s shot over him than Nik. On ball great, off ball he gambles a lot and pays the price often.

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 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

Well-Deserved For Trey....
The numbers speak volumes. Select highlights:

- 594 total points, good for 19.2 points per game in the regular season
- 212 assists and a 38.3% assist percentage
- assist / turnover ratio of 3.5
Congratulations to Trey Burke and to all the Wolverines recognized!

Well deserved too. He has great numbers but he also brought it during every game in the BIG - I think that one of the things that must have played heavily in the minds of the voters was that he scored 15 points in EVERY game. That kind of consistency in the brutal conference schedule is highly impressive.
March 11th, 2013 at 8:02 PM
#57
Awesome
This is awesome news and I'm glad to see that all those Big Ten player of the week honors actually added up to the real awards at the end of the season. I'm surprised by Hardaway on the first team, but I think that's because I watch Michigan more closely than any other team, so I see his faults more than other players in the conference. He also got the sportsmanship award for our team so a little bonus there. I'm glad we have a healthy Morgan back for the postseason and the conference obviously thought highly enough of him to put him on the defensive team.

Points aren't the only metric
Points aren't the only metric to look at when measuring who deserves player of the year. Oladipo was a very impactful all around player for IU. Trey was more vital to his teams success. He deserved the POY. Without him I think we struggle to be .500 in the B1G.

Trey ran the team as a point guard ...
Oladipo while very athletic benefits greatly from playing with Zeller. He makes sensational plays on occasions, but disappears too.
Burke was the first player (ever ?) to score at least 15 points in every B1G conference game this year ... which neither Zeller or Oladipo did.
Congrats Trey ... undisputed Championship awaits next year plus a guaranteed top 3 ranking if you return. Maybe Lewan can have a chat with him ....
Go Blue!

Cousy competition: cross one off the list
Matthew Dellavedova of St. Mary's just had a complete stinker of a game against the Zags, finishing with 2 points on 1-8 shooting (0-4 3pt), 7 assists, and 3 turnovers.
A performance like that in a game that some might say St. Mary's needed to win (or at least come damn close to doing so) probably pushes the Aussie out the door. Next!
