Evan Turner was named the AP Player of the Year in college basketball in a landslide.

He probably got the 'Papal' vote from the Vatican.

Good for ET- 1st Buckeye POY since Gary Bradds in 1964, before that Jerry Lucas in '61 and '62.
I thought Jimmy Jackson won one of the POY awards (not the AP) the year Laettner won it.

Thats pretty good that you can miss 5 weeks in the middle of the season and still win POY
What a joke

No more of a joke than someone that wins a Nobel peace prize with in 6 mouths after he was elected to office.

I'm not a bit jealous of Evan Turner.....
I know he's going to be a bust in the NBA and will be back in Coulmbus selling cars in three years

Over/under on how many basketball games Gibby watched this year... 0.5
I am taking the under on that one. At least I hope it is less than 1. Any basketball watcher with a brain could have told you that Turner was far and away the best player in the NCAA this year.

Yea... he was terrible
Poor Gibby. Can I see your college stats?

I don't have Buckeye Blinders (Tar Heels fan) but Turner deserved this award just as much as John Wall or any other player with a vote. His stats were amazing.gibby08 wrote: He is not the most talented player in the country..and anyone with half a brain and without buckeye blinders could see that
I think John Wall has TONS of potential but I honestly don't think he has lived up to the hype yet.

No offense but he wasn't near averaging a triple double every game. He needed 4 more assists a game and in a 30 game season, that's 120 assist. He wasn't close...Shane Falco wrote: He nearly averaged a triple double per game,

Apparently not. He wasn't voted best player by buckeye fans.
Your hate for OSU is horribly obvious.
