this thread is just comical. i will give you points for entertainment value. However, the last time I checked Creighton was in the Missouri Valley Conference for the 2012-2013 basketball season, and the best player in this conference during the 2012-2013 season is Doug. Its not even a close race.
Put all personal opinion aside even. Do you think the MVC would embarrass themselves by not voting a national player of the year candidate as their conference player of the year? Ya, that would look like a classy and competent league a school would want to join if the rumors are true and creighton leaves.
give me a break. Doug is the player of the year. He deserves it. even if he didn't, he would still get it.
