Rowsey - Big East 6th man of the year

[burger]

FOY is going to be Patton or Ponds.

Patton has really dropped off......With Watson yes......Without.....Not so good....

Markus should win it over Ponds......I know Ponds is St. John's best player and the East Coast bias thing.....

But Markus had the 2nd best shooting percentage from 3 pt land.....all time in the NCAA's......as a freshman.....That is pretty big stuff.....

Pretty much all you have to put down on his resume.....

PS.....That Rowsey 45 foot step back video is pretty awesome stuff and should have been submitted to ESPN for Top 10 consideration that day.....Of course if he had done it twice in a row.....It would have gone viral.....

Agree with you Burger.  Markus over Patton (I don't care that Patton is an NBA prospect this year, he's not performing as high as Markus).  Ponds will probably get it though.

Absolutely love Rowsey.  Sometimes too quick of trigger, but can you blame the kid.  He is EXACTLY the type of guy you want on your team in a tournament setting. 

I hope he goes bonkers in the dance.  He certainly has the ability to win us a few games simply with his shooting.

I have become convinced that every shot is a good shot for Rowsey.

I think FOY goes to Ponds. Not saying he's more deserving than Markus, but I think he'll win it.

Ponds can lock down Markus.   Markus can't lock down Ponds.   

[Golden Avalanche]

It's a showcase and numbers award. Ponds would seem most likely choice to earn it.

I am sure a kid from AZ is going to beat out a kid from Brooklyn, NY.

good quality freshmen guards in the conference.

Ponds, third in conference scoring at 17.9
Lovett, 7th at 16.3
Howard 11th with 15.4
Baldwin 26th with 11.3

Great news.  Congrats Andrew.  Well deserved.

It will be strange in the tournament when the announcers talk about Rowsey being BE 6th man of the year when he starts the game.  Non MU fans might be confused.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Plenty of motivation for MU. Haypickers will be taking over the Garden.

[Herman Cain]

Said preseason to expect big things from Rowsey. Picked him as a top 20 player in the Big East. Not sure if he's that good but he's been fantastic. Congrats Andrew!

One of your better picks

Ponds can lock down Markus.   Markus can't lock down Ponds.

I agree with this.  When we played St. John's, Ponds looked like the much better player.
