[QUOTE="jamarvelous31, post: 2032423, member: 747164"] Not quite the same. BU had the preseason POY, but the yr he won was a tie for the conference with the pre-season 10th place team. IIRC Gard won because they were not expected to be good and BU didn't get the love because the perception was we only moved up 1 spot (preseason 3rd vs tied for 1st) and backed into it due to Wiscy losing to NU in the final game. Gard essentially had both Hoiberg & Painter's story combined. The BTT doesn't really factor into this since the award is given out beforehand. [/QUOTE]
