According to Adam Zagoria.
Here is the full tweet from AZ:
League sources confirm Jae Crowder of Marquette is Big East Player of the Year & Moe Harkless of #stjbb is the Big East Rookie of the Year
Congrats to Jae. Well deserved.
P.O.Y.
Really really happy for him and he's playing his best ball of the season right now.
Excellent. He deserves it.
For entertainment, go to the WVU scout board or to the MU scout board for the flamers to come visit. Congrats to Jae.
A d-bag West Virginia poster has been bragging about Kevin Jones winning POY on the Hoops board all day.
Can't wait to see his response!
If this comes to fruition, no amount of attention or accolade is enough.
It will be a massive accomplishment for Crowder. It will be a massive accomplishment for Buzz. It will be a massive accomplishment for the Marquette program.

Oh, and look who's #1 on the Most Miserable States list that came out today: http://bottomline.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/05/10563467-americas-most-miserable-states
People on the WVU Board are freakin out, quite entertaining
I can understand the WVU fans being disappointed by their guy losing out, but to be pissed about it is crazy. Whether you agree with it or not, these individual awards take into account your team's success and KJ hasn't done enough to make his team successful (even if he carried them to mediocrity).
Dude, I'd be super pissed if a player from MU led the Big East in scoring and rebounding and didn't win.
Huggs has already tweeted his disappointment.

+1, I'd be pissed but I wouldn't go all Mel Gibson Conspiracy Theory either. They've seen this coming for a few days now and its fun to watch the meltdown.
The "best" players in a league that play for a shitty team rarely are rewarded as MVP. Has happened for decades.
Wikipedia confirmed:

Jae Crowder
Just trying to be impartial. Jae deserves it, but I can understand the anger...
What an amazing story and accomplishment. I'm sure he never dreamed this could happen while in JuCo. So happy for him!!
AWESOME!
I think we should change the "Stud of the Game" section to the "Stud of the Big East" section until the game on Thursday!
So pumped for Jae! That is awesome news...hell of a conference season he had!!

Just as people on this board always say:
National media, coaches, etc. have a pro-Marquette bias.
Pretty impressive to go from JUCO National Player of the Year to Big East Player of the Year in just 2 seasons. Congrats to Jae! His performance this last 2 months has been remarkable - he simply makes winning play after winning play.

Summed up perfectly, Lanche.
So Huggins is upset.
Coaches can't vote for their own players, yet Jae was the only unanimous vote-getter on the 1st All BE team.
Huggins, you voted for the POY, Jae.
Smile and show some grace cuz your boy and team lost too many games...and Jae kept him in check when it mattered.
Congrats. Manimal!!!!
While I was thinking earlier that I wouldn't mind if Kevin Jones was chosen Player of the Year, giving Crowder that much more motivation, the more I think of it, the more Jae deserved it so much that it would've been disappointing if he hadn't won it. WVU fans seem to think that if you take Jae off our team, we would still be a 20+ win, NCAA tournament team, but they don't seem to realize we were missing both our centers for much of the season, so if you take off Crowder, the only guy you can consistently rely on on the boards and defending big men is Jamil Wilson, playing his second year after sitting out a year. Crowder put the team on his back, finished with a bang, and that's what WVU fans who are pissed should realize. I don't blame them b/c they don't know our team, but that is the honest response we should give them.
Those WVU boards are funny lol....wow....Now they are all Pro-Big 12..I really hope they lose right away....Countryyyy roadddds

I've never really understood the allure of reading opposing teams' fan boards. Why wade knee-deep through the crazy while reading stuff you know you're going to disagree with? And I really don't see the point of trolling with posts just to piss people off.
It's now official as Wikipedia has updated with Jae on the list.

And the UConn article I posted earlier about each Big East team fanbase as a Simpsons character comes true. The team everyone always forgets is Cincy! Brilliantly done, sir 8-)
The WV seem to forget that as Steve The Homer says "somebody has to score the points". I feel like your team should either have to be in the upper half of the league. WV didn't even live up to expectations. How can you reward a guy in that situation. AND at the end of the day these guys went head to head on WV's home court and Jae completely buried Jones in stats. That's it, case closed.

They saw 1st hand why Jae deserves POY. 'Nuff said.
I'm happy, they are not. I can live with that.
Did anyone listen to Buzz's comments on his radio show tonight? They have relevance to this thread.
As some WV fan wrote on Twitter, "number don't lie," as a pro Jones fact. Crowder is the only Big East player ranked in the top 10 in Pomeroy's player of the year rankings. Points and rebounds are not the only stat that's important in winning games.
Congratulations Jae!!!!! Helluva year my man, name will be up there with the good to great ones.
definitely earned a big ass poster of yourself to be put up in the AL.

Big 12 guys should not be eligible for POY award in the first place.
I just want to remind my fellow posters that I was telling you Crowder was the best player on our team back in December. Many of you did not agree with me.
I'm sure it's been discussed and I've just missed it but does anyone know what Jae's prospects were coming out of high school? What kind of attention/rating was he getting and who was recruiting him/offered him?

I feel I remember something about Jae being fat and overweight for most of high school,and only around his junior/senior did really start to focus and play, but it was too late to really be recruited heavily.
I think this is appropriate.

Enjoy flying to Texas after class all next year
This is by far my favorite post on their forum right now.
"The catholic schools ban together and vote for their one chosen catholic rep, Crowder. Loyalist UConn also votes that way to prevent the WVU player from getting it. Jones doesnt have enough votes to counter, with additional votes being split between him, Crowder and Odom. Huggins cant vote for his man, so he votes probably for Odom. Buzz votes probably Kris Joseph to assure no vote for KJ.
Sounds like the Corrupt Bargain a little doesnt it? Turns out that was real as well."
I literally almost just fell off of my chair.

LOL. Yeah, because its a widely known fact that all Catholic schools band together when it is time to vote for POY. Additionally, Buzz was very, 'as a matter of fact' when asked who he was voting BEPOY... Kevin Jones.
Ummmmm pretty sure MU wouldn't be where we are in the BE if it wasn't for Jae Crowder. In fact, we'd be 9-9 too or maybe a little better; ergo, Jae remains BOSS of the BE.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think we have had 2 conference POYs before Jae in our history. Jim McIlvaine was the Great Midwest POY in 1994 and Dwyane Wade was CUSA POY in 2003. In both cases we finished first in the league but lost our first conference tournament game.
I'd rather other guys win the awards and we win the tournament games.
As for Crowder vs Jones, I guess traditional metrics favor Jones and advanced metrics favor Crowder. Couldn't go wrong with either guy, IMO. I guess W/L record of respective teams was deciding factor.
Wow. There isn't a crappier fan base in the country than WVU. Good riddance.
Congratulations Jae for the well deserved honor. Thank you for a great two years!

To add to Aughnanure's summary: Jae's first year of JUCO ball was with an unaccredited school. A Big East coach suggested that Jae move to an accredited JUCO, so that his academics would transfer if/when he got a chance to play at a higher level. That coach was Bob Huggins. Sweet irony.

True, but if roles were reversed I'd feel a little guilty arguing if Kevin Jones had come into the Bradley Center and dominated Jae 26 points to 12 points to take player of the week.
I love Kevin Jones, but if he had just held his own against Jae in Morgantown that day he would have had the title wrapped up, but getting dominated like that opened the door, and Jae followed that up with another player of the week and then a pick by ESPN as one of the top 4 performers in the country the final week.
I've had them both in my top 4 all year in Value Add, but had Jae nudging ahead of Jones a few weeks ago.
But I don't want to direct any criticism at Jones. He seems like a great guy, and a wonderful player, but Jae was just a little bit better.
I remember living in Virginia and being outraged when Ralph Sampson was ripped off for Player of the Year in a conspiracy to pretend that some punk named Michael Jordan was better!

In my mind, this is far less controversial than Kemba not winning last year.
I'm assuming it was probably a very close vote. Jae was better at the end. I know it's a vote for the BE season, but that still makes a difference. I do wonder who didn't vote Jones for the BE first team though (oh wait, the WV fans know it was Buzz). That is definitely surprising..
Jae getting the support of many of the national pundits (minus Dickie V) and coming in ahead of Jones on the All American teams further justifies the selection.

Those idiots are ONLY considering points and rebounds for the whole season. They fail to recognize that the vote is based on conference play ONLY. A monster omission by them. They're like politicians trying to skew statistics in their favor. Of course, we all know that a player's value is determined by more than just points and rebounds. Crowder has better overall numbers. Who gives a flying frack that Jones had the scoring title anyway! So what if Jones scored 18 more points over the course of a season......in 69 more minutes......that deserves POY??? ::)
It's funny how no national writers are talking about this "Biggest Injustice in Big East History!" In fact, Goodman and Parrish have flat out said Jae deserved it.....only to get attacked by moonshine-riddled livers. Pathetic.

None of these posters mentoined anything about being
NINE-AND-NINEC'mon son.
Here is what I left for WVU fans on the page - I understand their disappointment, because Jones had it wrapped up until Jae came into Morgantown and stole it - but Jae stole it on the court head to head and deserved it:
But still, the problem with the conspiracy theory is that www.kenpom.com has become the most widely read stat rating over the past few years, and he rates Crowder in the top 10 in the country and not Jones. Bleacher Reports listed Crowder 5th and Jones 10th. One of ESPN's basketball columnist listed Johnson-Odom as the 5th best player in the country a few weeks ago, and then came back after Crowder's strong finish said two weeks ago the BE POY was between Crowder and DJO.
So you can't say a conspiracy extended to statistical ratings, which have no biases, and national media.
As for WVU being punished for leaving, hard to argue that when Syracuse - also leaving - grabbed the defensive player of the year and 6th man of the year vote by the same coaches. True that Crowder had a much better supporting cast, but the flip side is being a one-man team meant Jones didn't have to share. He took more than 100 shots MORE than Crowder to barely beat him out in points. Crowder shot 62% on 2-pointers to 59% for Jones. Crowder shot 36% on 3-pointers to 28% for Jones. So I am not sure you can say that the guy who took 3 more shots a game to score one more point a game is the better scorer.
On defense Crowder was much better, stealing the ball more than three times as often as Jones and blocking shots more often than Jones even though he is two inches shorter. Crowder also guards all 5 positions, as he showed by holding Jones to 12 points and then on the last possession, matched up with Truck since MU's guards couldn't contain him and forced a shot that missed the rim by three feet.
Jones is the better rebounder, but Crowder is the better defender and scorer if you go by shooting percentage as opposed to Jones' 19.0 ppg to 18.0 ppg, which would basically be saying you'd rather have Jones taking 6 shots more every two games even though he is missing 5 of them and only making one.
I am not ripping Jones - I have rated both among the Top 4 most valuable players in the country, and I hope they both grab lots of honors. Jones may finish ahead of Crowder in some (3rd team Sporting News), while Crowder will finish ahead in others (Pomeroy, Bleacher Report, SB Nation and 2nd team all-american in Sports Illustrated to 3rd team for Jones), but when two guys are this dominant, I do believe coaches probably looked to Crowder's domination of Jones one-on-one and him putting up 26 points or more in 4 of his final 5 games including that one, while maybe they didn't weight Jones two games around 30 pts in early non-conference games.
A great season and more importantly career for Jones, but the coaches aren't the only ones who just believe Crowder was a little better this year.
Great line that WVU fans will enjoy from the JS article on Larry Williams:
"Williams inherits an athletic program that belongs to a major athletic conference undergoing big change. Pittsburgh and Syracuse, two marquee conference opponents, are leaving the Big East. So is West Virginia."
Implying WVU is not a marquee conference opponent, which I'm sure they would all love to disagree with.
Congrats Jae! Well deserved! We are all proud of what you and the team have accomplished this season. Good luck in the tournament and beyond!

WVU fans now certain they will get screwed by the officials in the BEast tourney (as per orders of the BEast office), as they've apparently been doing all year long.
Honestly, I don't think there is a less intelligent, out of touch fanbase in the country. It's not a few crazies, but probably 95% of the fans on their boards who think Jones was deliberately left off because they are leaving, and can't even begin to conceive how Jae might actually be deserving.

I have said the same thing on a few threads. After losing Otule and Gardner, how wvu fans think, Marquette would have easily won 20 games, without crowder. You need a new excuse wvu.

I think he looks like the hippest philosophy professor at Howard University.
Can we replace the stud of the game picture with this?
