Pretty sure, Dale Ellis won it once, as did the Wizard, Tony White

Auburn program/players maybe getting less votes from SEC coaches because they know the program cheated? I don't know.
100% positive this is not the case at all. Maybe have given a slight edge to Barnes in COY votes at most.
The Auburn players made what they deserved (for the most part cough cough Heron cough). Brown had some big struggles down the stretch which knocked him down to 2nd team. Harper making 2nd was right where he should have been IMO (though one couldmake an argument for 1st team). Heron was awfully snubbed, but youre always gonna have that happen to someone on some team.
And lmao at your apparently factual statement that Auburn cheated. Would love to hear the proof.
Big congrats to Williams, Barnes, Admiral, and Turner on their awards. 100% deserving each of them.
Kinda surprised Allan Houston didn't make the list
Maten: PPG 1st, FG% 7th, FGM 2nd, RPG 2nd, rebounds 2nd, total OR 107, total DR 158, blocks 8th
Williams: PPG 11th, FG% 5th, FGM 5th, RPG 17th, rebounds 18th, total OR 59, total DR 115, blocks 9th
As I said, these are individual awards. It's not Most Valuable, it's the best player individually. That's Maten.
