ANALYSIS

My biggest complaint again is about Cremins getting Coach of the Year. I just don't see how Jackson from Furman does not get the Coach of the Year Award. His team clearly overachieved by the most, in my opinion.

Davidson, UNCG, and Samford are the only teams that do not have a player on the first, second, or third team. Samford finished last, and UNCG finished fifth in the North, but Davidson is one of the favorites to win the tournament. So it is a little surprising that Jake Cohen did not make an All SoCon team.

Keegan Bell deserved to be on the All SoCon team. I'm very pleased that he was selected. He was more deserving than Omar Wattad. He has been more important to the Mocs success than Wattad- and that's not to take anything away from what Wattad has done.

De'Mon Brooks of Davidson should also have been selected to the All Freshman team. I have felt like Brooks is one of Davidson's best players, and he deserves that spot. But he didn't get it. He may make up for it in this tournament.

GO MOCS!
