[Vander Blue Man Group]

Disappointed they don't have an All-Defense team so Stevie could get some recognition.  I assume Kalkbrenner will win DPOY again. 

[MarquetteMike1977]

Said when they were in High School Parnham would contribute more than Owens Freshman year.  But have to admit I doubted that some too after watching early scrimmages.

[Billy Hoyle]

Kalk gets DPOY
Zuby most improved
Reed gets 6th Man
Hunter of X gets sportsmanship award

Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, Freshman of the Year and Scholar-Athlete get announced Wednesday. I have to think Stevie gets the scholar-athlete award.

Predictions for the others:
POY - Luis, Jr.
COY - Slick Rick
FOY - McNeeley

[wadesworld]

Kalk gets DPOY

LOL.

[Billy Hoyle]

LOL.

you knew they were going to give it to him.

[wadesworld]

you knew they were going to give it to him.

He could've played 0 possessions all year and he would've got it.  4 DPOYs along with Ewing is disrespectful to Patrick Ewing.

He literally guards nobody.  His "matchup" is the guy who can't shoot on the other team and he stands at the rim being 7'1" and 26 years old.

He's 23, but I agree with the rest.

Coaches know what he gives his team on that end.......Shaka and Hurley have both talked about it at length.

He certainly isn't Ewing......not close.....but if the coaches vote a guy POY 4 times in a row he's probably pretty good and a worthy winner.

Doesn't mean a case couldn't be made for others but it's fine that he won.

CU finishing alone in 2nd in conference probably helped too, I'd think

[BrewCity83]

Well, it did help them that they played with a goalie.

[Shaka Shart]

Once again, JUST TALL

[wadesworld]

Once again, JUST TALL

The 4 time Big East Defensive Player of the Year takes on the challenge of "guarding" the opposing team's worst player every night.  Incredible stuff.

[Viper]

yeah, we needed a goalie

[FairWeatherEagle]

Pitino deserves COY.
I think McDermott is consistently the best over the years....maybe once under 500 for the 10 or so years they've been here ...although with time, Shaka....

Agree all defensive team would be great. Why not? It's not too busy and gives credit to a set of players for something that matters.

Parham nice. I think he's got great upside. Grow dude. Not just size but in knowledge, feel, leadership. Make it happen. NBA in your future.

McDermott's been good, not great when his kid isn't on the roster.

He affects games. He changed the way Marquette could play offense in the game at Omaha.

I'm sick of him, too. And I get what others are saying: What he does seems "easier" than what "real" man-to-man defenders do.

But the big doofus has a big impact on games. That's what Big East coaches see.

[Billy Hoyle]

McDermott's been good, not great when his kid isn't on the roster.

One weak foul call away from the Final Four without his kid on the team, two sweet sweet sixteens and the aforementioned elite eight without Dougie. Hes finished third or better in the BE 8 of 11 seasons. Maybe not great but very good.

[tower912]

Bad coaches aren't put on wish lists.

Good thing no one said he was bad.

I guess if you want to debate "good" versus "very good" have at it.

It's relative, but in terms of program expectations they've been great. Since 2017, went to 6 of 7 tournaments and would've been a 2 or 3 seed in 2020. All single-digit seeds, two Sweet 16s and an Elite Eight. They've equaled or bettered their best pre-McDermott seed (6 in 2003) four times since Doug left. He has 8 NCAA wins since Doug left, the program had 12 total before 2017 (and 3 were Greg, he owns more than half Creighton's all-time NCAA wins). He's 2 wins from tying Dana Altman as the all-time winningest coach in program history and has done that in 2 fewer seasons.

[wadesworld]

He's elite at keeping kids on the plantation.

Yep. Even most Scoopers would be pretty pleased with those results.
