That is just ridiculous.

Based solely on the Wisconsin game, I'd have gone Macura, personally. He clinched it with the Gator chomp.

Don't worry, JP was honored with the Big East Conference Slayer of the Week Award.

Well deserved and congratulations. If he keeps piling up these player of the week awards (and he likely will unless BE voters think they have to 'spread it around' for some reason - he just needs to make it impossible for them to do that) it will be hard to keep him front runner for the POY!

Trevon made the Big East Honor Roll again:

Trevon Bluiett, Xavier, G, Sr.
Made the winning basket with six seconds left against East Tennessee State (68-66). Scored 13 of his team-high 18 points in the second half rally that overcame a 22-point deficit.


Hoped Naji might get the freshman honor, but Omari Spellman for Villanova put up 27 against Temple.
