National Honors
 PLAYER
OF THE WEEK: Two steals, nine straight points, and
one Colonial League title victory made for the best 2
minutes in the young career of VCA point guard Eric
Maynor. The sophomore sensation bounced back from
2 subpar games against Drexel and Georgia State by
willing the Rams to victory, seemingly on his own.
Maynor’s three game totals in the Colonial League
tournament were a respectable 35 points, 14 rebounds,
16 assists, and 7 steals, but his clutch play in the
championship was the biggest reason the Rams locked up
an automatic bid, the school’s first since 2004.
 TEAM
OF THE WEEK: With an unlikely road win, the
Albany Great Danes captured their second straight
America East tournament title, this time doing so on
the hostile court of chief rival Vermont. The
thrilling 60-59 win capped off a stretch of 13 wins in
15 games, with the two losses coming by 4 and 1. This
team is on fire coming into the NCAA tournament, and
was rewarded with a 13 seed, much better than the 16
seed obtained last season.
 COACH
OF THE WEEK: By ending Bucknell’s reign of terror
on the Patriot League, Ralph Willard and his
Holy Cross Crusaders won their first Patriot League
tournament since 2003, and the automatic Big Dance
ticket that comes along with it. Coach Willard has
clearly found a home in Worcester, Mass., and is now
responsible for four of the five conference
championships in Holy Cross history. The 25-8
Crusaders had to survive a 55-53 thriller against
American in the semifinals before upending the Bison
74-66 in the title game. |
