And my vote goes to...
KJ Simpson (20/6/5 and 45% from the 3 pt line). I know y'all are surprised... lol...
Zona's embarrassing loss to SC and Caleb Love laying an egg on 1/10 shooting certainly didn't help his case.
Throw-in the Buffs 6-game winning streak and I am hoping that is enough to get KJ the award.

-Kansas St beat Iowa St
-St Johns beat Georgetown

To be decided:
-Wake Forest hosting Clemson
-Pitt hosting NC State
-Providence hosting UConn
-Seton Hall hosting Depaul
-Minnesota at Northwestern
-Oregon hosting Utah

Saw that posted looks like several 23 win seasons but assuming that includes post season?

Now that the season is over I thought I see how many Big 12 controlled games were on ESPN+ who is the "conference network" of the Big 12

TV Broadcast 68% were on ESPN+, in conference 48% were on ESPN+

For the PAC 12 it was 64% on the PAC 12 network and in conference 49%

I will do an total for the WBB, will not do a conference breakout

Two really good teams during it out for the MVC Title right now on CBS.

CU finishes third in the Pac-12 and clinches a No. 3 seed in Pac-12 tournament with a pivotal Quad 1 win vs. Oregon.
