All Conference Teams and Awards

DeAndre Williams and Freeman Liberty are the top two candidates to not be back.

I know Freeman already tested the waters, but is there a chance he'll do it again? It would hurt the league big time to lose someone like him.

He will do it again.

Biggest question mark for me is Childs. Not saying he isn't one of the best players in the league, because he is. But he didn't even play in half the league games. How is he on here?

Totally agree with this. He was great while healthy, but missed 10 games this year (including half the conference season). I'd personally move Kennel up to 2nd team as we was that good this year for Bradley (he has become a legit good defender for Bradley) and then move Berhow onto the 3rd team.

All Bench
Marquise Kennedy, Loyola (6th Man of the Year)
Ville Tahavanienen, Bradley
Garrett Sturtz, Drake
Antonio Reeves, Illinois State
John Kiser, Valpo

Most Improved
Liam Robbins, Drake (Team Captain)
Trae Berhow, UNI
Javon Freemon- Liberty, Valpo
Ja'Shon Henry, Bradley
Madison Williams, Illinois State (This is actually Mileek McMillian but MadWil dunked on him so hard a couple years ago, he gets all of McMillians accolades)

Once again you see lack of seniors on this list and a bunch of underclassmen. 9 of 10 of these players are not seniors. That makes a total of 23 of 30 (3 all conf teams, all def, and these two) players who received post-season awards are expected to return to the league next year. We're in good hands.

3/5 of the 1st Team All Conference Players are also on the 1st Team Scholar Athlete team with Green, Phyfe, and Krutwig earning the honor. That says a lot about what type of people these three are.

Roman Penn has a few choice words...err points... to make for the UNI fans who said Berhow deserved his spot on the third team....

26 of them to be exact... Penn 26 Berhow 0. And Drake is now written in sharpie.

I think Childs' injury which forced Kennell to step up cost Berhow his spot. You could make a very strong argument that Berhow deserved second team consideration as well (probably in place of Cook). This league is so deep there was going to be somebody left off who shouldn't have been.

Roman Penn. The answer is Roman Penn.

No business on any all league team.

Not exactly an astute observation

Don't forget his 8 rebounds and 8 assists to go with those 26 points.

Watching Penn do that sucks for me as a Valpo fan because he's from NWI right in our backyard. Went to a school about 30-40 minutes away... Congratulations on recognizing his talent and finding him! And seriously enjoy this win the Bulldogs more than earned it!
