I don't know about that. There were 12 freshman that played at least 10 minutes per in the conference, and obviously only 6 got honors.

Fielder from Gtown, Abass from Depaul, Ball from UCONN all played very significant minutes and were not selected. For X to get two selections shows the promise and talent that others in the conference see that even some of our own fans don't.

Add to your last sentence, Des was voted most improved player. Obviously other coaches in the league see our potential moving forward.
