Wow, Olu Ashaolu not on 1st or 2nd team? Has to be the only player that got WAC Player of the week that didn't end up on 1st or 2nd team. Yes, he's on a bad team but that's not his fault. He shoots over 50% from the field, gets you almost 15 points per game on less than 10 shots a game while getting double and tripled teamed because defenses are gameplanned to stop him, get you basically 10 rebounds in a game, he's top 15 in the NATION in double doubles and toss in 2 assists per game. This is a mockery.
