Re: Seth Tuttle

I thought Jake Koch would have been a good bet for All Defensive Team

I am sure many here agree with you.

Re: Seth Tuttle

Echinique is a joke as DPOY. Creighton is an awful defensive team, so how can they have the best defensive player?

Re: Seth Tuttle

While I like a good shot blocker on my team, blocking shots alone doesn't make you a good defensive player.

Re: Seth Tuttle

Congratulations Seth, well deserved. You and Deon give us a lot of hope for the next few years.

Agree Creighton is a terrible defensive team, no way he should have been DPOY.

Re: Seth Tuttle

I agree BC - TERRIBLE Choice DPY.

Re: Seth Tuttle

Speaking of Creighton, the other night when Creighton escaped the the Trees, the broadcast team was hyping Dougie Fresh in the league of Larry & Oscar. While Dougie is a good/borderline great offensive player as a sophomore, he was nowhere in the same league as those two, scoring wise.

The broadcast flashed a graphic that had Larry at 918 points and Oscar at 984 points in their respective sophomore years. Doug was a bit over 600 at that point. As of yesterday, at the end of the 30 game regular season, McDollars Jr had 692 points. The devil was in the details, as they say:

Larry Bird sophomore season 1976-77 - 918 over 28 regular season games

Oscar Robertson sophomore season 1957-58 - 984 over 28 regular season games


BTW - the NCAA did not finalize the three point line until 1986, though various conferences had their own rules for the 5 years before that. Doug made 45 threes this year. Also, the NCAA shot clock was not in effect until about the same time. Wikipedia cites an example of an 11-6 Tennessee win over Temple in a 1973 collegiate basketball game. Scoring was a bit different before 1986.

To be fair to Doug, those two also took around 300 more shots than he did. If he made around 50% of those remaining shots, it'd be around the same amount of points as them.

Re: Seth Tuttle

Tuttle is so good and tough around the basket. I don't want to get greedy but you have to wonder how good he can be with experience and some more time in the weight room.
Congrats to him on the great honor.

Just saying comparing Doug to those two is just a mistake.


BTW - Congrats to Tuttle. With 20-30 more pounds of muscle, I look forward to the possibility of him taking it to Doug next year.

Re: Seth Tuttle

I guess Jake wasn't kidding in October when he said Tuttle is ready to play and contribute this year. He kinda got my hopes up when he said that, and Tuttle exceeded everything I was hoping for. It's gonna be fun to watch him the next few years.

Re: Seth Tuttle

If you had known before the season started that UNI would have two on the all freshmen team wouldnt you have expected a better year?

No, because how many teams have freshman that play a bunch of minutes? I don't have a clue, but it seems that the list to choose from wouldn't be huge.

Even lakes/JBB doesn't deserve being punched in the face as much as you do. Go check yourself into a mental ward, you obviously have an issue with experiencing joy/optimism.

If you would've said that before the summer my first thoughts would've been Mitchell kicked ass (which he did towards the end) and Olivier/Buss held their own. Tuttle wasn't even in my mind since some people on here were sure he needed more muscle before being able to compete in the MVC (which I agreed with).

Re: Seth Tuttle

Jake Koch should easily be on the all defense team. And Toure' Murry got screwed I think he should have been first team.
