This is voted on by the coaches, so clearly what they saw on film and in person, they thought Williams was the best player. He was also on the best team and this award almost always goes to the best player on the best team.

And Maten has better stats in every offensive category except FG%, which Williams is 5th, Maten 7th.

You can say it’s an “individual” award but that doesn’t make it so.

Basketball is the quintessential team sport. Look at every crap team in the NCAA and there will be one guy putting up great numbers, but it means nothing if your team isn’t winning.

When talking about most valuable player it isn't just an individual award imo. If you weren't valuable enough to make your team a winner you can't win that award

What a year for Grant. Only a sophomore too. Good times for big orange basketball.

It's not MVP, it's Player of the Year. If it was most valuable, they'd call it that.

Yante deserved it IMO. But clearly they won't give it to a player on a bad team. Which being individual awards, shouldn't have anything to do with the team.

Barnes disagrees. He thinks these are team awards given out to individual players.

Guess Woodson deserved the Heisman, because he was the best player on the best team, despite Manning having better stats than any other QB winner prior, right?

I don’t know and I don’t really care.

We are talking about basketball and a guy on a team that finished 1st in the SEC with the a 10 SOS, and a guy that played on a team that finished 10th, was 2 games over .500, and with a far inferior schedule.

So by your logic, awards should always be given to whichever player has the best stats, regardless of who they play, and how they finish? Solid.
