These are the ballots from the three BTN guys. But interesting bince they have as good a perspective as anyone of all BIG players and coaches.

Nice to see them pick White 1st team and Gabe to 6th man. I think Uthoff at least deserves make the 3rd team tonight.

 

[Hawkfnntn]

Yea other then Uthoff not being in the mix for 3rd team I'm pretty much down with all that.

Bo Ryan as coach of the year....yeah that makes no sense...lets give it to the guy with the best team ...dumb dumb

First Team
Dez Wells, Maryland – 3, 2, 3 (8)

this surprises me, the 2 times I watched him play, he was nothin' special

What I find interesting is that we all thought Russell and Kaminsky were going to be unanimous and the rest were up in the air. It's only 3 guys voting here but White was also a unanimous pick...joining Russell and Kaminsky.

I missed mvp of my conference in hs by one vote. That's a good story too believe me bro

And when Maryland, who's now ranked 8th in the country?>? came to Carver-Hawkeye, theeee IOWA HAWKEYES
blew them out. The game was NEVER close.

Iowa had far too much length and size for the terps
