That is just ridiculous.

[GoMuskies]

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!

Will Trevon make 1st team BE?

I think he should BUT there are so many great players.

I'd be pretty shocked, because he's X's number one option, and everybody knows to game plan for him, and is still sitting at 6th in PPG, there's plenty of time until the end of the season, but his rebounding rate is better than any of the 5 ahead of him in PPG (other than Kelan Martin), I also think where X is a better team than St. John's would give him a first team nod over Ponds, but you're right, a damn good amount of competition.

[American X]

Trevon made the Big East Honor Roll again (http://www.bigeast.com/news/2018/2/19/mens-basketball-villanovas-bridges-xaviers-marshall-earn-weekly-mbb-honors.aspx). I am biased, but not sure Bridges deserves Player of the Week over Bluiett.

He had 16 of his points in the first half in only 13 minutes of playing time when Villanova built a 51-37 lead by halftime.

[scoscox]

I don’t know how you justify not giving trevon the player of the week. Averaged 31 points on 12 shots for both games. Bridges was good against us, but he didn’t have the week that’s trevon did by a long shot. Is this voted on by coaches?
