So to recap, #Xavier's Semaj Christon was named A-10 rookie of the year and a member of the all-conference second team and all-rookie team.

And Travis Taylor was named the A-10's most improved player and a member of the all-conference third team. #Xavier

Seems fair to me, though I would have liked to see Taylor move up to 2nd or 1st team. I also love that the 6th man of the year went 0-15 last week against us.

i love that cody ellis is 6-8 and is shooting 31% from the floor this year.

Congrats to Semaj and Travis on recognition for your fine seasons!

That is awesome. Congratulations, Semaj and Travis.

The conference leading rebounder from Xavier is on the third team, of course.

It is some recognition, but almost a slap to Trav! He deserved more.

I can see keeping Semaj off 1st team - as a freshman he'd need to be WAY better. I don't necessarily agree with that but I can understand it. But being a senior, this is Travis's last go-round.

I wonder if this is a bit of a dig at X for leaving.

If that is the case, and even if it is not, goodbye and good riddance A10.

How is it a dig at Xavier for Taylor to be named third-team all-conference and most improved player?

Agreed. There are approximately 200 kids on A10 rosters and they had to pick 15 of them to make the top 3 teams. I can't say that their aren't 10 kids in the A10 better than Travis.
