wow so I've been away and just read the end of season awards.....can someone explain how a freshman can get most improved? most improved compared to what? seems like there were other more suitable candidates like Wade or Jones or anyone who has at least played a season. That's gotta be the weirdest award ever, nothing against the recipient, sure she's worked hard but still rookies don't usually get the most improved award :roll:
Congrats to all though on a wonderful season, looking for more next year!

I don't know if the players or coaches pick the most improved. Wade received the award last year as a freshman but she played big minutes during the latter part of the season.

More questionable is the award for best defense. Wade set season and game blocked shot records and was the second leading rebounder despite playing only 15 minutes a game and doesn't get the award. The difference in the Vikings defense when she was in or out was marked.

true true, Wade was a game changer... not sure who votes either....oh well politics or popularity or something like that

I'm sure the coaches have input as to who needs the morale booster most.
