I agree with this analysis

I've never heard that one before, are there others?

Three and free
Four and out the door
Five and trying to keep the dream alive
O'Tule and make hay

But he can't crack Scoop SOTG...

Absolutely great for Joey, the 2018-19 BE Freshman of the Year.
However, the Big East apparently has become as used to Markus' excellence as Scoop has, because he failed to winBEPOW this week despite averaging 27 ppg and 6.4 apg this week - instead it went to Tayshon Alexander with 22.5/2.5

Trying to find the link and can’t...but saw an old Bob Knight interview where he tells a story about when he coached Michael Jordan for USA Basketball.
MJ had an amazing 24 pts and 10 rebounds at halftime, and the team was getting too relaxed in the locker room. Knight says he has an idea how to get the other guys’ attention...he makes a beeline to Jordan, who was facing his locker and wiping sweat off, and goes, “Goddamnit, Michael, didn’t anyone teach you how to set a damn screen?! You didn’t set one freakin screen out there the whole half!” Knight said MJ looked him directly in the eye and, sure that the others couldn’t see it, cracked a big smile.

Markus Howard getting Scoop's SOTG treatment. I think they already know he has Big East POY locked up that they want other players to feel appreciated. ;)

Booth if anyone has it locked up.

Better scoring? Nope. Better Assist numbers? Nope. Better rebounding? Nope. Better record? Nope. But sure he's got it locked up.

To be fair, right now Booth's team does have a better record. But your point is well-taken and far superior to the other gentleman's typical shoot-from-the-hip, thinking-not-necessary silliness.

In the Big East yes, I was referencing overall. But as it is Big East POY I suppose the overall record doesn't matter.
-
From the media, it seems like it’s a race between Markus and Shamorie Ponds. Haven’t really heard much about Booth. But with St. John’s falling behind in the standings, we might see other names crop up, Booth among them..
-
My comment was to demonstrate the absurdity of the previous posts. Shamorie, booth n marcus have nothing locked up. The next 6 weeks will go along way in determining who ultimately wins. And numbers aside it will most likely go to a player on the team that wins the BE title. Additionally, with all the talk of Shamorie and Markus, Booth has been playing at an incredible level, shooting a really nice percentage, playing outstanding defense, and has a great assist to tyrnover ratio.
Classic overreaction by the journalist, cant get out if his own way. The jim acosta of scoop.

Recent winners include Billy Garrett, Angel Delgado and Henry Ellenson. All three came from teams with losing records in conference.
So I don't think standings matter anywhere close as much as you think it does.

The past few BigEast POY:
Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Kris Dunn, Ryan Arcidiacono, Doug McDermott, Otto Porter, Jae Crowder
all from teams with winning records in conference

Seeing as that's only happened 6 out of the 13 years we've been in the league, despite years with co-champions and co-POYs...
Maybe they just pick the best player regardless of team. And maybe transcendent players put their teams in position to win titles.

Those were Freshman of the Year winners.

i once knew a man that worked his whole life in a management role, and was widely respected as being an a$$. in his last year before retirement a co-worker told him he was an a$$ and told him he should just try enjoying those that he worked with...the guy enjoyed work, and his co-workers, so much that he worked another 7 years. sand-knit, my friend, don't be an a$$.
-

Oh I thought that's what he was talking about. His poor grammar and spelling confuse me. Thanks.
-
Obviously it was a tongue-in-cheek comment that Markus has it locked up. However, he still has the best chance out of all the other guys even if Marquette finishes behind Villanova. Just don't fall behind St. John's.
-
Congrats to Joey! That is awesome! Let’s go for a sweep - three in a row!

As usual, here's what happened:
You throw something silly out there as an absolute, "I'm right and everybody else is wrong" opinion disguised as fact:
Booth if anyone has it locked up.
Then you get called out on your dopiness by several Scoopers, including me.
Then, realizing you were wrong but not willing to admit it, you attack those who point out you were wrong while trying to explain you really meant something other than your first shoot-from-the-hip post. Just like your past posts ripping Sacar and Luke. Lather, rinse, repeat.
You cap it off with your ignorant attack on journalists, as if that has anything to do with this conversation at all.

With Markuss powerful numbers, if Mu stays close to Villanova he has a chance. If mu win BE its his. If nova wins BE by more than a game or two i feel it will go to booth, JMHO

The booth comment was as silly as the previous one that Markus had it locked up. U cant see that because u choose not to, its ok, i know thats who u are. A poor trait we see in many journalists today.

Last 10 POYs and whether their team was regular season championship:
Brunson - No
Hart - Yes
Dunn/Arcidiacono - No/Yes
McDermott - No
Porter - No
Crowder - No
Ben Hansbrough - No
Wes Johnson - Yes
Thabeet/Blair - No/No
Harangody - No

I still think A.J. Reeves from Providence will be Freshman of the year in the Big East despite being out all this time. The awards generally go to all the East coast schools in the league. Hope I'm wrong.

Are you really using facts in a discussion with MSK? You know he throws those out the window.
As for Beast Freshman of the year, I think Joey is making a vey strong case. Reeves hurt his chances with the amount of time off he had because of the injury, and if Gtown gets on a roll, McClung and Akinjo will likely steal votes from each other. What other candidates are out there? Duke hasn't put up great numbers, Bey has been solid but not great either. Zegarowski?

Five of the last 10 BE newcomers of the year have come from Midwestern schools (Lance Stephenson, Cleveland Melvin, Billy Garret Jr., Henry Ellenson and Justin Patton), so I wouldn't say they all go to the East Coast schools.

Dont disagree but some coaches will not even face Reeves, kinda hard for them to vote for them under those conditions.

Reeves is back, so he'll face every team at least once.
-

I wouldn't say that; but I do think that the coaches try to "spread the wealth", so if, say, a coach were to vote for Markus as POY, I think that would make him less likely to vote for Joey as FOY.

Since the reformation, the Big East Freshman of the Year Award has gone to:
Billy Garrett Jr (DePaul)
Angel Delgado (Seton Hall)
Henry Ellenson (Marquette)
Justin Patton (Creighton)
Omari Spellman (Villanova)
So 3/5 have gone to Midwest schools.
The POY award has been a little more titled toward East coast schools since the reformation, 4/5 going to east coast schools, including a year where two east coast schools had co-POYers so 5/6 in a way. But with those award going to Kris Dunn (x2), Josh Hart, and Jalen Brunson, I don't think this come from East Coast bias so much as they were the actual best players in the conference that year. The only one I would maybe question is Ryan Arcidiacano of Nova...but he was co-POY with Dunn.

Vacated is so ridiculous. It's fun to claim we won the BE in 2012 but it's doesn't change jack. We still lost 4 times, one of those to Cuse. If they vacated why doesn't our record show 14-3 BE that year?

might be a bit misleading with first or not first.
The last ten POY were on teams that averaged a 14-4 record.
Dunn with Providence the only POY on a team with more than 4 losses. 11-7 and 10-8

Did we hang a banner for 2012 (Crowder's team)? I only remember seeing a banner for 2013 (Vander's team).

Being in the race is much different than locked up. DJO was in the race for BE POY so was Lazar, neither were actually going to win it.

We need good journalists. Acosta seems to trip over his own feet by baiting and misleading his subjects. He's bad. We've never seen so much false news spread by the media the past two years.
