having won his record 7th newcomer of the week award with 4 or 5 weeks to go, I would say the NOY award is McDermott's to lose. CU has played all but two of its scheduled games against the top 4 teams. In the 6 games against the best of the league, he is averaging 16.33333333 points and 9 rebounds, which is pretty close to his overall averages. He is now 4th in scoring and 3rd in rebounding in the league, and should be in the conversation for all conference at this point in time.
On a side note, CUs Tritz garnered an MVC record 6th newcomer of the week award on the women's side.
