March 10, 200917 yr Thorton named SEC Player of the Year Patterson and Meeks on the 1st team. :thumb: LSU's Trent Johnson named SEC Coach of the Year.
March 10, 200917 yr Congrats to Jodie and Patrick for this honor. They deserve it. Johnson deserved COY. What a great job he did at LSU.
March 10, 200917 yr If I heard correctly, this is the first time in SEC history that a team without a winning conference record placed two players on the 1st team.
March 10, 200917 yr Thornton is the POY... :madman: I know what your feeling but let's face it. Jodie didn't have a chance. He had to work for every impossible shot he took. Screens, especially effective screens, were few and far between and he still kept his average at 24.7 ppg. Everybody figured it out after the 54 point game and then we couldn't counter it with screens, which is what you have to do. Any good high school coach would be getting him several good looks per game, especially with his quickness. Oh well, just venting...:popcorn:
March 10, 200917 yr One thing I can't help but notice is that the First Team only has one senior (Thorton) on the team, including 2 soph. (Patterson and Calathes)...As bad as the SEC was this season, it could be that much better next season.

Oh well, just venting...:popcorn: I knew he didn't have a chance with the way things have gone lately, but still... I am very frustrated as well. I think they should have more plays to get Jodie open looks that aren't under pressure and I think it would be wise to stop practicing on game days, but what can we do...

(Patterson and Calathes)...As bad as the SEC was this season, it could be that much better next season. I agree. A lot of young talent in the conference that should blossom in the next few seasons. That will make Billy Clyde's job a little harder. But he only loses one senior, and if PP and JM come back, the Cats should be much improved.
March 10, 200917 yr If I heard correctly, this is the first time in SEC history that a team without a winning conference record placed two players on the 1st team. So, what do you take from that?
March 10, 200917 yr UK goes 10-6 11-5 and Meeks win the player of the year. That's true, but if they were 10-6 or 11-5, he would have better numbers, as well.
March 10, 200917 yr That's true, but if they were 10-6 or 11-5, he would have better numbers, as well. I still think he should have won.
March 10, 200917 yr I still think he should have won. I personally think he has better numbers than the others, but this losing streak has killed his chances (and the team's chances).
March 10, 200917 yr I personally think he has better numbers than the others, but this losing streak has killed his chances (and the team's chances). Agree.
