In response to penn nation
Like the Oscars, it was mostly what you expect with 1 or 2 surprises.
Pierce goes from ROY to POY. He's been super clutch and virtually mistake-free since the day he arrived. While Lee is probably the MVP for the entire season (including non-conf), Pierce was the right choice for Ivy POY.
I wouldn't have minded if Henderson and Earl tied for COY, but there's no doubt Mitch deserves his flowers this year. After losing Tosan and Langborg, a 2nd or 3rd place finish with a Top 100 NET would have been considered a success. No matter what happens in the ILT, it's been an all-time great season for the program.
I really thought Owusu-Anane deserved 1st Team. Lilly wouldn't be my vote to replace him, but the coaches chose the guy who's #1 on their scouting report. Fair enough. Slajchert making 2nd Team after missing 6 games is... a choice. He's a phenomenal player but that's over 40% of the Ivy season. By contrast, Knowling only missed 3 games and was left off 2nd Team.
But hey, it's all about this weekend. I'm sure every player, coach and fan would trade an award for a ticket to the NCAAs.
