Still think Woody Newton should have made all defense (probably over Ajogbar from St. Joes), but can’t complain about everything else.

Well rewarded for such a good season. Let’s keep it going for 4 more games (yes, round of 32) and then play with house money.

Feels validating to see these awards. Billups is an absolute stud on defense - his on/off splits are just silly.

And Tony... man, I had QUESTIONS about this rotation all year long. Think we all did. The decision to go all-in on defense paid off in spades. What a leader.

Jalen 1st team and Darius 3rd team is justice too. That's 3 out of the last 4 years we've had a first teamer. If only Keyshawn's poor ankle held up...

Yes, it was a heroic effort on Key's part to gut it out on that compound fracture just because he loved his teammates and his school so much.

Jared is a finalist for DPOY nationally.

More detail from the Atlantic Sun conference site on who else is a finalist and who makes the final decision:
....
"The Lefty Driesell Award is named in honor of the legendary coach who spent over four decades as a head coach. Driesell won 786 games in 41 years at Davidson, Maryland, James Madison, and Georgia State. He ranks eighth on the NCAA career Division 1 coaches victories list and his teams were known for playing tenacious defense. Driesell was one of three coaches to reach the NCAA Tournament with four different programs as his teams won a combined 16 regular-season titles and six tournament championships.

The recipient of the annual award is determined by a 10-member voting committee, which consists of current and former head coaches, as well as two senior staff members of collegeinsider.com. The 2025 award will be announced in San Antonio, Texas at the site of the men's Division 1 Basketball Championship.
