RowdyZip Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I agree with Alex as 2nd, and he's getting better. Zeke git shortchanged, hopefully it fires him up. You could make a case for Nik as 2nd team, but 3rd is fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you serious!! I can see Watt, but McCrea - NOT. Ok guys, let's get that MAC Championship (the big prize) and shut everybody up!!

g-mann17 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 How can the person who is selected 6th Man of the Year, not make the All MAC team at any level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeaglet1 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 How can the person who is selected 6th Man of the Year, not make the All MAC team at any level? I hadn't notied that, but it's a good point. As for the All-MAC teams, I'd have swapped Marshall for McRae, and Pearson for Green. Can't really argue with the other 3.

Zipmeister Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 If the MAC had an all defensive team as do some other leagues, Zeke would be a first team lock. As is, 2nd team isn't half bad for him and the case could be made that maybe the third team would be more appropriate. Either way, he is still one of the best players in the conference.

Quickzips Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Pearson on 2nd team is a joke. He should be easily on 1st team. Without him Toledo has another year winning 4 games in front of 20 fans. Personally don't think Greene had that impressive of a year to deserve 1st team over Zeke. Trey Zeigler being on any of these teams is laughable. He made it purely on reputation coming out of HS. The kid is a complete and total bust. The only way he will ever get better is to find some decent coaching. Looking at the all-freshman team is kind of scary if you are a fan of the MAC in general. The last few years the all-freshman team has been fairly well loaded. This year your "best" guys are Sullivan (nice 3 point shooter who offers absolutely nothing else) and McBroom who I actually think will be a pretty good player in this conference. Of course, if this were newcomer of the year you would then have guys like Tree and Harney on the list, and all of a sudden the prognosis for the MAC looks a lot better. For what it is worth my teams would have been: 1st Team: D.J. Cooper Rian Pearson Julian Mavunga Mitchell Watt Zeke Marshall 2nd Team: Michael Porrini Quincy Diggs Scott Thomas Javon McCrae Justin Greene 3rd Team: Alex Abreu Zach Filzen A'uston Calhoun Nikola Cvetinovic Jarrod Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Don't they favor seniors on the First Team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Zeke is not only MAC defensive player of the year, he is also the leading scorer and second leading rebounder on the team with the best record in the MAC. The selection process appears to have placed a high priority on conference scoring average, with all 5 players selected to the 1st team being in the top 8 in MAC scoring average. Zeke is only 27th in the MAC in scoring average, so he just didn't fit the pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 My question is, what kind of hat did they pick out of? Top hat? Beanie? How Pearson isn't on the first team is beyond me. The guy put the entire Toledo team on his back, and lead them to a second place finish in the MAC West, a year after being one of the worst teams in the country. Dr. Z is spot on with his comment. When you have a 10 guy rotation, with each of those 10 getting solid PT, it's going to be hard to find a BEST player on a team like that, even if they are the best in the MAC.
