2025 MVC Postseason awards

[LittleBrave]

Obviously I don't want our players disrespected, but these awards worked out well for us. This should have put a chip on their shoulders and made us super hungry going into the weekend. Time for these guys to show the voters how wrong they got it.

As much as it enfuriates us fans, I don't think it bothers our guys nearly as much and their collective goal is to win in St. Louis this weekend and all individual awards mean very little in comparison. But maybe DB Jr can relate the chip on his shoulder from the snub in 2020 to some of the guys for extra motivation.
With that said, don't think anyone needs more motivation - the biggest goal from the start of the season is right in front of us, and everything they've worked so hard for, and any success gained has been to win Arch Madness.

Extra motivation never hurts, while I agree the ultimate goal was to win Arch, I guarantee every guy in the locker room feels slighted. Go listen to some old Jordan stories about how he got motivation.

My predictions are:
1st Team: Duke
2nd Team: Hannah, Zek
3rd Team: Davis

All Defensive team: Davis

Most Improved: None

All-Freshman Team: Ja'Quan

Wow! Pretty darn close to perfection, LB!

Agree with the comments about Davis being slighted. That just shows me that the people doing the voting don’t watch the games. Davis was our shutdown defender all year, and he wasn’t too shabby on offense, either. And if you watched the last Braves video drop, you probably noticed BW calls him Coach Davis!

Darius on all defense team and happy for him but Christian should have been on there. Not as flashy but the best. Stortz sees him on his nightmares.

​Also, this was the best and most accurate post today! Well done, HB! :lol:

Ridiculous. CD should have been all defense. He guards 4 positions - all of them really well. And gets 5 shots a game if that. Last game he held Campbell to 0 points - and took 1 shot. All about winning. Oh well…Congrats to the other guys - they deserve it

I don't know the criteria for the all defense team but my two favorites from the Braves are Christian and Ja'Quan.

Definitely Jim! And most of us thought Quan might be a liability on D after seeing videos of him rather lax on D in high school.
