What's the bias? What am I missing? JorBo made honorable mention on both coaches and media.
Nebby had one player selected to an all-big ten team, being Teddy Allen (HM) who left the program.
Who is that guy? Carr wasn't on first team. He was second team by the media and third team by the coaches.
Crazy that Garza put up the numbers he did the past two seasons going against the best big men in the country.
He made honorable mention in both coaches and media so it wasn't a reach to put him on the third team.
That is how you get honorable mention. Someone votes for you for one of the three teams but you don't have enough votes to be one of those teams. Emmert could be the only member of the media that voted Bohannon 3rd team and that would be enough to get him honorable mention, I think.
At least one of the coaches thought he was worthy of it as well.
Carr had way too many games where he was just awful. Wildly inconsistent.
I don't think he was out of line for voting for Bohannon as third team. JorBo had a solid conference season. I think he led the league in 3 pointers made and his assist to TO ratio was really good.
He only shot 39% from the field as a "shooting specialist" playing next to two other legit all big ten players who drew all of the defensive attention.
Rasir Bolton was forced to be a bad shot chucker for a bad ISU team and managed to make 45%.
Wieskamp shot 51%, Nunge 44%, Frederick 49%.
Iowa is just one of those teams that has two excellent players and then a ton of role players. If JoBo is one of the 15 best players in a 14 team conference that conference would REALLY REALLY suck big time.
He was also fourth in Assists, led the league in Assist to Turnover Ratio, second behind Weezy in 3 point FG percentage for those that qualified, and finished in the top 25 in scoring. I don't think you are a homer to pick him 3rd team.
The Big Ten sucks if he's the 15th-11th best player in the entire 14 team conference.
That's what you're saying. There are only 10-14 players (including Garza and Weiskamp) who are better than JoBo in the entire league. So only 8-12 non Hawkeyes in the whole Big Ten who are as good as JoBo...you REALLY believe that? Seriously?
Almost none of your stats are correct, he is 14th in 3pt%, not 2nd. 32nd in scoring. All players above him played 21 games or more. He is 4th in the Big Ten in assists, that seems to be the one stat you got right. Nothing about his statistical output screams "top 15 player in the Big Ten".

Having him as one of the top 15 players in a 14 team league is basically saying you think there are teams where he'd be the best player. That's a stretch
It drives me nuts you guys think calling him Weezy is cool or cute.
I was using conference only stats and the Big 10 apparently only includes 3 point percentage with a minimum of 100 shots taken. Either way, he shot 44% from three for in conference games only.
