Say What ? Parker didn't win SEC POY ?

NEW COACH · 03-04-2008, 05:12 PM

Fowles selected over Parker as SEC Player of the Year : Women's Basketball : GoVolsXtra.com

This surprises me. I guess LSU's win over us makes the difference.

Still Parker was hands down the best in the SEC, IMO

It helps explain why the SEC is down, all the coaches who voted for Fowles are idiots.

it's not that surprising statistically.

Fowles scored 17.3 a game with a FG % of 61 and 9.8 boards a game

CP3 scored 20.8 a game with a FG % of 54 and 8.6 boards a game.

If your gonna compare stats I think you should include Steals, assists, blocks, 3pt and free throws.

NEW COACH · 03-04-2008, 07:47 PM

Parker is the best player in the country !!!!! No wonder the SEC coaches didn't have a decent scheme to stop her. They didn't know who she was.

yeah, because steals, three pointers and assists are what centers are known for

NEW COACH · 03-04-2008, 08:13 PM

blocks are.........but I don't really get SURFSIDEBEACHVOL point.

This would be a valid point if Parker only played center, however, she plays guard and forward as well. She is the most complete player in the country.

NEW COACH · 03-04-2008, 08:36 PM

***** right. Not even close.

My bad ,I didn't realize Fowles won SEC center of the year. I thought she won SEC player of the year for which all the stats should be considered.

My point was that all Fowles really does is take high % shots and rebound. Candace does it all and its unfair to use only those 2 stats to compare these players.

volfanbill · 03-04-2008, 11:37 PM

fowles is also twice the defensive player parker is.

Fowles- 43 steals, 46 blocks

fowles also completely shuts down the paint for LSU, something Parker doesn't. stats alone don't make a defensive player. Keep your homerism alive though.

I think a lot of people, who aren't clad in orange, are tired of Parker and Tennessee. This means she won't win national poy either, but god help them if that freshman from UConn wins it.
