Martinelli: 2nd team

[Medill '03]

Twice the leading scoring in the B1G. Neither time did he make the first team.

Lots of really good players in the BIG this season on much better teams. Not much you can say.

Hopefully this serves as motivation to win four, five, maybe six BTT games in a row starting tonight.

Agree with Lou V on this. He’s as good as those top players - horsesh*t pick.

Thats absolutely terrible. This dude is as first team of a player as there can possibly be. If he isnt first team there shoulnd’t be a firest team.

I don't disagree , but wins matter too in these things. I'm disappointed, but can't say I'm surprised .

Terrible take. It’s an individual award and our team being bad is even more of a reason. He had double and triple teams all year long because we never had a consistent second option. This is the first time in college basketball history a player has led his team in scoring back to back years and not been first team all conference. It’s an absolute joke and the conference rewards the glamor programs.

Either he is deserving of your vote or not. What is your vote?

I think the blown free throws in the losses to Rutgers and Minnesota - and, really, the losing record - were the deciding factors.

Hope he proves them all wrong in the BTT! The stage is yours, Senor Martinelli

My vote is 1st team, of course. I'm just saying we could all see this one coming even if we feel cheated.

Ok but then you should still take issue with the decision, even if you saw it coming.

Noticed that tonight in the BTT, Neb led by first team B1G selection Sandfort lost to Purdue by 16.

Sandfort: 15 pts, 6-14 shooting, 3-8 threes, 4 reb, 2 asst

Second teamer Martinelli vs Purdue, in a 13 point loss in his third game in three nights: 25 pts, 10-16, 1-1 threes, 4 reb, 3 asst.

Martinelli vs Indy: 28 pts, 4 reb, 3 asst.
Martinelli vs PSU: 24 pts, 9 reb, 3 asst

The B1G media and coaches can fook themselves.

Complaining about this is our right as the wronged parties
