State of the program reflected pretty well here.

One person that's All MAC, and not a single person on the all Freshman team. As good as JJ Kelly's been, apparently there have been better.

Suder over Tavari is ridiculous. Seems like the award is just best player on best team.

Absolutely. What a joke. Tavari has been the best player all year. MAC doing all they can to ride the national attention Miami is getting.

A little surprised by Simmons only being honorable mention. But yea, tough look to match a tough year.

I'm not even THAT MUCH of a hater, but cmon man.

This is the same guy who got bottled up vs us and then ran to the student section to flip them off and drop F bombs all over the place?

Fiami can enjoy now. Steele will move on to a big conference and take Elmer, Byers and Ipsaro with him (sorry Skaljic). Tavari deserved it for longevity to Kron and MAC. And JJ Kelly not being All-MAC Freshman is awful. I truly believe voters hate us because we are, as a program, unlikeable. Another reason Boals has to go. We have zero respect.
