2019 MVC Awards Announced

I can't even with Custer being on any All-Conference Team.

I also have issues with Yarbrough thanks to his off-court stuff and the fact that there are games where he just flat quit. So, so talented though.

Custer is a joke. Who is not on here that deserves it?

I think relegating Yarbrough to 2nd team speaks volumes to his reputation and his quitting on the team. If he was first team, I could see a bigger outcry. I like 2nd team for that reason.

Personally I thought Dixon as he improved alot and surprised me with his play. Milik is most talented along with Fletcher but there is something about the Redbirds

[jackwagon]

Can't argue with the first team. Also for the first time in a long time I think the 2nd team is actually better than the 1st. Weird that both are true.

Freeman over Krek on defensive team? No way

I can support that; Freeman is an impact defensive player. Krek worked hard and accepted a lot of tough assignments, but that didn't make him a top level defender. In fact the best defender for the Bears was Webster by far. But Freeman definitely deserved his spot.

Townes wins POY with 25 1st place votes followed closely by McGlynn with 17 1st place votes. Krutwig in 3rd with 5 1st place votes with Da Silva and Fayne getting a vote each.

Unsurprisingly, AJ Green brings home FOY. Da Silva wins NCOY.

Sixth man of the year is split between Haldeman and Kennell.

McGlynn got DPOY as well.

By far? I disagree I saw the 3 starting guards(Webster, Dixon and Krek) darn near on a equal plane as far as defense. I didnt see any of them be torched just like Freeman didnt but I saw Krek take on much tougher assignments then Freeman. Well I guess its happened already. We all got opinions lol

Webster was second in steals and led the team in blocked shots, but apart from stats, just look at the games players like Brown,Barnes, Custer etc had against the Bears with Webster being the primary defender. His length was really difficult for a number of pgs to deal with. When the game was on the line at Loyola, Ford switched Webster onto Townes to defend the pick and roll that had been killing the Bears and Webster blocked the shot. After Ellingson had torched the Bears at Drake, Ford put Webster on him the last game and Webster held him down . In the games against UNI Webster blocked Green's 1st attempt both games, and Green didn't really score much till Webster had to sit with fouls; the minute Webster was out, UNI went to Green and he scored on consecutive possessions with Krek on him.

I admire Krek for taking the assignments against guys like Yarborough and Townes and he fought his butt off, which is a big part of defense, but he wasn't nearly as effective as Webster imho[ Yarborough averaged 22.5ppg and Townes 17.5 against the Bears] Now those guys score most nights, but so do guys like Brown .

Who was first in steals?

[Go4Valley]

Custer had Dixon and Webster on him ans both games locking him up. But that isnt a big accomplishment this season lol. Custer didnt have a good year and had no business on all conference list
