I am also certainly not going to say Shattuck did not deserve POY. The race between him and Griffin was dead even. However I though Hopkins 1st place finish and being a senior would give the slight edge to Griffin. I wish it could wait a week and take the conference tournament into account. If Griffin has a big tournament and Hopkins takes it then it would be tough to say he should not be. Or maybe Shattuck goes out and affirms the selection. Guess we will have to see...

Looking at my user name I am obviously a little bit biased here. However, you really lose a lot of credibility Leo making an argument like that. Why is it so implausible (and this goes for any game not just this one) that one team is fouling more than the other? Especially when Hopkins has two All Conference post players they try to go to just about every possession. Of course the other team is going to have more fouls called on them.

I agree on the Fabian no call and there was one charge that should not have been called on Ursinus that I can remember. From this side I would say that was absolutely a foul with .3 seconds left I think because it directly followed the bad Fabian no call you didn't see it clearly. In addition, the worst call of the game was on Doug Polster who waws called for a foul on a 3 that was not even close. I will also add every time Nawrocki makes a post move and doesn't get a foul as a missed call

This was an intense, exciting game that could have gone either way. Timely shooting (Valerio 15 in the second half) is actually exactly why Hopkins won yesterday. Blaming the officials for this is absurd.

If JHU runs through the CC schedule with only a loss or two but ends up losing the conference championship game what are their chances of getting an at large bid?

JHU is without a doubt the best all around athletics program in the conference. Lacrosse does overshadow most at hopkins though. Another factor is that school is not back in session until January 30th and that is normal for it to be so late so the little student support there is was not even there. Lastly, let's just say the area surrounding Hopkins is very "urban". Besides there being so much more to do in the city, demographically the area right around the university just isn't going to go root for the JHU basketball team.
