Big East POY

[fjm]

Sorry Gooooo I was joking. I am sorry.

And Galway I got the tweet alert from MU. Apparently it came earlier than the show announced it.

James Akinjo FOY
Jay Wright COY

[Mr. Nielsen]

Apparently it came earlier than the show announced it.

It still won't spoil my fun at work. 

[MU82]

Wait ... but we had a thread just the other day that led with Markus having played himself out of BEPOY consideration.

The other big news out of that insightful post was that Sam quit.

Has Wojo announced yet who will be starting tomorrow in Sam's place?

Congratulations to Markus.   Well deserved.  Hope Wojo doesn't listen to scoop and bench you.

I hope Wojo puts a fire under his ass and tells him to play like we all know he can play. Hell! I hope Wojo has a fire under his ass tomorrow.

Absolutely. I hope Wojo screams at Markus and every other Warrior that they have to relax!

I said this kiddingly, but I was reffing a youth basketball game last season and the coach really was screaming at the 11-year-olds under his charge: "You HAVE to RELAX!" I had to laugh out loud.

Congrats to Markus who represents MU so we'll off and on the court.

Congrats Markus!! Looking forward to you putting your POY skills on display this tourney season

LOL. Sounds like a great way to get a bunch of 11-year old kids relaxed....

[TallTitan34]

On the Big East Shootaround show when asked what he expects next year Markus said he doesn't want to talk about the future and wants to live in the present.

Hmmmm.

Hmmmm.

Could be a hint about next season.

Or could be a guy whose team is one day away from starting what he hopes will be a long and fruitful postseason run and he wants to concentrate on that.

200 feet ahead.

Congrats Markus.

Hmmmm.

I know that's a standard "no comment" kind of line, but Markus seems to genuinely enjoy the college experience, so I wouldn't read too much into it.

Regardless, with the new, more flexible rules, I won't be shocked if he tests the waters. I also won't be shocked if he then comes back and uses what he learned to improve his game at MU.

I doubt Markus goes to the NBA.  He'd be lucky to get drafted at all after his last few weeks.  Maybe if he goes bonkers next few weeks and leads us to the final 4.  Otherwise, just don't see it.

I usually use 'take three deep breaths and smile'.   Then I make a cheesy pun and they roll their eyes at me and go out and play.

How did Jay Wright win COY over Willard??? I love Jay Wright, but Willard got robbed.

[CTWarrior]

Congrats to Markus.  Well-deserved for his body of work all season. 

A little surprised that Wright won COY.  He's not a bad choice at all, but I thought that Willard at SHU and McDermott at Creighton had the best seasons vs expectations.  Thought Wright and Wojo basically finished about where everyone thought they would preseason.

Beat me to it.

Agreed. Nova simply did what everyone expected.

Nice going, Markus. It does sorta make you wonder about next year.

[Galway Eagle]

hed be a fool not to test the waters don't blame him for keeping his cards close
