Partial post I made in game thread:
If Redbirds prevail, and the reason is Paris Lee, I think he takes a huge lead in POY voting. It would insure a season split at worst and he is the single most important player on either of these two teams. If Shockers win whoever has a big game between McDuffie or Willis could have a slight edge in POY voting. Sorry for my money Doyle may be the most talented and put up the biggest numbers, but I can't support him if they land up a distant 3rd or 4th in the conference race. He is very good and has been playing great, but to me team matters and I wouldn't vote for someone other that a player on the first or second place teams. I know many will disagree but that is my perspective. Also this clearly eliminates Morgan from any POY consideration. If Loyolla can win their remaining games against the Redbirds and Shockers, I would reconsider, but winning matters not just playing great.
