I'm worried that TK's small assist numbers and high turnovers might sway voters another way, but it would very cool to see both of them get it for Ohio.

If Michael Weathers was able to win the award last year, Teyvion should be able to easily win this year. Weathers won it on a crappy team and he was asked to do it all for them. Teyvion is on a crappy team and while not being asked to do it all, he has stepped up in a way that Weathers never did. He is clutch, he has been unflappable and has been as consistent as anyone in the league in terms of his scoring. He has had double-doubles and let's not even think about the pressure on him following Jaaron. What a situation to be put into. We just lost someone who is arguably one of the better players we've had in the past 20 years and Teyvion has all but made us forget Simmons. I still think Jason should have gotten it last year based on his impact with Tone out but his numbers were low due to not playing a ton early in the year. Teyvion has led us since Day 1. It will be a tragedy if he doesn't get it.

Nobody more important to their team in my opinion out of that group. Especially with our short bench. I cannot imagine this season without TK - he's played so many valuable minutes for Ohio. I'd say we'd be about 4-23 without him. Prarie View AMU, MSM, Coppin St, Capital. That's all IMO, we would have lost the rest, and likely 0-fer in the MAC. He's fearless, getting better all the time, and I love that he's on OUr side. I sure hope he is Freshman of the Year for the MAC, it would be well deserved.

Hooks is amazing to watch, especially as a defender. You know exactly what she's going to do to you to try to get the ball - but apparently you still can't stop it. She pokes the ball out, and gets a run-out basket. Clockwork. Like the above poster said, we've got two good PGs to root for at Ohio for the next few years.

488 points in only 28 games as a freshman was pretty amazing. After that she scored over 635 points each year playing 27, 28 and 29 games.

The entire arena seemed deflated when Hooks went down early. The ladies quickly fought back out of a hole to get within 2, but that was the only run they had. It was all Miami after. Hopefully she can be rested (if needed/possible) for the Akron game and potentially the first round home game, which will likely again be Akron.
