Damn was really hopeful Cam would get POY, I think if we finish in the top 3 he might get it, but I can understand POY from 4th place team is uncommon.
Still awesome to get first team honors, and Keli honorable mention again.

Agree with Brandin and Timme - maybe if we win at Santa Clara and get the third spot then Cam gets it, but hard to argue with the results. Both of SCUs first team all league guards are only sophomores too, they are one big man transfer away from being a legit tourney team next year.

Still awesome to get first team honors, and Keli honorable mention again. Unbiased opinion - Cam should have been POY. Not only the leading scorer in the league, but was also 3rd in both assists and steals (along with 17th overall in rebounding). That fire in the belly will be raging come Saturday (and hopefully, 2 wins to follow afterward). Go Lions! |

Congrats to Cam and Keli on great seasons! I do think Cam should have won pot though. Didn’t follow the other two guys like I did with Cam but who had a stretch of games like he did. He completely dominated the last 8 or so games. We are nothing without him and would think that is pretty clear how much higher he elevates our team than anyone else in the league.
Although for our tourney hopes it’s probably best he still has some doubters to prove wrong! Hope we can make a run this year!

Good point Golions. Maybe the snub will motivate Cam even more than we’ve already seen.

Podziemski led the league in rebounds which is pretty impressive.

Scoring the game-winning bucket at The Kennel (and beat Timme to the rack), 2nd half/OT domination in the win vs #15 St. Mary’s and the 40 points he dropped on Pacific. Totally different level to what we’ve seen in this program in the last 30 years. |

Really could have awarded it to any of the 3 players. Really proud of Cam, did not think much of him at all just last season. Indeed, Anthony was 14th nationally in PPG in 12-13. Ireland was such a good kid and so fun to watch and still plays professionally overseas. I think he could have got a shot in at the league if he hadn't been 5'9. I think Cam could have a real shot. Surem he's also not tall, but he's not prohibitally small. He also looks to be vey strong. If he can keep improving I could easilly see him impressing if invited to a training camp.
