[QUOTE="Emerson Bigguns, post: 1533362, member: 666858"] Cowan got to the Free Throw line... A LOT. I believe he led the league in foul shots, and not by just a few. The ability to consistenly draw fouls (especially in this league) is certainly a skill Maryland could hang their hat on. You get easy points, you get opponents in foul trouble... It's a great skill to have. I really don't think there was a wrong answer. There are a lot of really good players who didn't get recognized at all. For a lot of voters team success is going to break things one way or another. Maryland won a share of the B1G title, the Illini did not. We also lost both games head to head. Cowan got 20 points in both games, and I doubt I need to remind you how game 1 ended. As much as I love Ayo and what he has brought to this team, it is really hard to make a case that he was unquestionably better than Cowan. They were both outstanding and deserving of any hardware that comes their way. [/QUOTE]
