Jae Crowder Wins Big East POY
As most of you are aware by now, Marquette's very own Jae Crowder has won the Big East Men's Basketball Player of the Year award. Jae had an incredible season and deserved every bit of this distinguished feat. Predator finished the regular season with 17.4 ppg, 7.7 rpg, and 2.3 spg, all while logging nearly 33 minutes per game.
There are a tons of reasons why you could say Crowder deserved to be Big East POY. The main one that comes to my mind is his stats in January (pre-Gardner injury) vs. February (post-Gardner injury).
These stats are on a per-game basis (except FG%). Also, keep in mind Jae only scored 4 points in the game at Notre Dame on February 4. Note: The game against Seton Hall on 1/31 is part of the February stats since Gardner was out with the knee sprain for that game.
I think these stats pretty much speak for themselves. Congrats, Jae. Just incredible.

Bracketology - March 4
Latest update is below. Duke and North Carolina switch spots after UNC delivers a beatdown in Durham. UConn is the last team in, a win or two in the Big East Tournament would certainly help their cause. Despite Marquette's big win yesterday against G-town, the golden eagles remain on the two line. A loss for Ohio State in East Lansing today may be enough to slide the buckeyes to a 3 and bump MU up to a 2.
