Good to see several UNI players get recognition. I am disapointed in a couple of things though. How can Grant Stout lead the league in rebouding and blocked shots, be 12th in scoring, 5th in FG percentage, top 20 in steals and only be honorable mention. Crawford deserves to be on the defensive team as well. Nobody works harder on the defensive end than Eric. I'd take him over Howard any day.If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

Congratulations!!!
These awards are well deserved for these Panther players! Stout is only a sophomore, so it's good to see him get Honorable Mention this year...he will hopefully continue to improve.
Now, the team needs to go out and prepare for a big win vs. SMS. Awards mean nothing until we get a couple more wins."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

I think conference awards are predetermined by previous year performances. Its up to a player with "hype" to lose the post season award. That is why you see an established guy like Howard win over up and comers like Stout and Crawford.Comment

Mac said last year that Crawford being excluded from the Defensive team was a mistake. I think it was a bigger mistake this year. You are probably right about the hype though, Howard certainly makes everyone notice him. Crawford is the anti-Howard if I ever saw one. Doesn't do the trash talking, works hard, doesn't appear to need the glory, puts his team before himself. IMO - Crawford could probably lead this team in scoring if he put himself first. He has the tools to do it all, dribble penitrate, shoot off the screen, work down in the paint. He is an unselfish player who puts his offense on the back burner in order to be the stopper on defense. Eric gets first team in my book.

I'm very Happy to see four out of our Five Starters getting Awards. I cannot believe that Benny did not get Player of the year, but I guess I'm not surprised. Either way congratulations to our guys for the great Representation of UNI Basketball. Good to see E-Cole get Freshman of the year, although there was never really any doubt about that. Glad to see that Howard only got Second Team. That is halarious, cause I honestly HATE that guy.
Well once again Great to see the Panthers getting recognition, now lets keep it going this weekend and bring home another MVC tournament Title and a Second staraight NCAA Tournament bid.The Original PURPLE Wig Guy........ GO PANTHERS
