No McKines??? What a joke! The coaches essentially made these awards meaningless with his ommission. He averaged a double double and flat out won a handful of games by himself.
How can TWO players off one team get 10 spots? NMSU is 5th place out of 9 teams...should George get on there too even though Fresno has done so bad?
NMSU got 5th place out of 9 teams. NO way Young and him get love...that's 20% of the awards. Should George get honored while Fresno is in the gutter?
