March 2023 - ACC Hoops

Agreed. He should have at least been honorable mention, and arguably 3rd team. Both Kihei and Reece should have been 2nd team over the NCSU gunners as well. But overall, the awards went about as expected - tilted in favor of players who score a lot and play in NC.

I think the other issue is media types who don’t watch games go ā€œUVA’s guards are good this year… who are the guards again? Oh Reece and kihei of courseā€ without thinking that we play 3 guards

My last year I was All ACC Honorable mention. I think then all that took was one person Voting for you. Will always be an Life mystery to me as to whom gave me that vote

Jerry Lindquist, Doug Doughty, Dave Johnson, or David Teel.

A few years later, and it might have been Andrew Joyner.

Funny cause there was a dude from Raleigh who wrote me an actual letter after. He was really complimentary etc. Always suspected was him

Andrew J for sure! That dude is the best

The really weird part of it is that, in the official record, Reece didn’t foul the guy; the initial foul call was on Dunn. But the discussion on this got so completely jumbled by early takes that it’ll never be untangled now.

I’m still mad Vander Plas didn’t win DPOY.

He’s a really good defensive rebounder!

But seriously, I think Armaan should have gotten some all-defense love. Perimeter defenders who don’t get steals or blocks often get shorted by the awards process, but he was real good this year.

I bet if you asked Teel, he’d just know who it was.
