Thank goodness for fast-forward. Ugh! What a maroon. Actually, maroons as the announcers were just as bad.

I'm not disagreeing that they are both good basketball players. Especially offensively(Boyd especially was fantastic imo).

But it also was partially their fault against High Point.

From about halfway through the first half of that game until the finish, the best player on the floor was the 5'8 guard from High Point that neither one of them could guard.

If one of them could have checked Martin then they win that game. It's pretty telling that they were putting Andrew Rohde on Martin down the stretch.

Also, Boyd had two chances to win that game and forced two shots at the rim(one led to the runout that gave High Point the lead).

Pretty sure this is misleading the facts (otherwise you would’ve just named them).

15 times there’s been multiple All BIG players on the same team? Possibly.

15 times that both the PG and SG were? Highly unlikely. If it really is the case, I’d like to know them? Please.

I’ve never actually said it’s inarguable. I have said it’s very much a possibility (which is what you’re so vehemently upset about).

Here's what I see going back to 2018-19:

2021-22
Illinois: Frazier (2nd), Plummer (3rd)
Rutgers: Harper (2nd), Baker (3rd)
Wisconsin: Davis (1st), Davison (2nd)

2022-23
Illinois: TSJ (1st), Mayer (3rd)
Michigan: Howard (3rd), Bufkin (3rd)
Northwestern: Buie (2nd), Audige (2nd)

2023-24
Iowa: Perkins (2nd), Sandfort (3rd)
Northwestern: Buie (1st), Barnhizer (3rd)
(Domask is listed as a forward, otherwise he and TSJ were both 1st team)

2024-25
Mich St: Akins (3rd), Richardson (3rd)
Rutgers: Bailey (3rd), Harper (3rd)

2025-26
Wisc: Boyd (2nd), Blackwell (3rd)

Going just by this (which I don't think is a great metric anyway), then Boyd/Blackwell are tied with 3 other pairs for 5th (6th if you count TSJ/Domask) over the last 8 seasons. They were very good, but the voters don't seem to think they were anything historic.
