Interesting... Chiney wasn't even on the media All-Defensive team, but then she gets the coaches' Defensive Player of the Year. (According to the announcement, this is Chiney's second straight year on the coaches' All-Defensive team, and on the coaches' All-Conference team. 3rd time for Nneka on All-Conference team)
I have to wonder about the media some time.
Honorable mentions to
Amber (Coaches all-freshman team)
Nneka (Coaches all-defensive team)
Toni (Coaches all-defensive team)

There are 15 players on the all-conference team? That's just silly.
Re: Congratulations a second time Nneka! - Viking_Guy - 03-06-2012
Actually, I think the silliest thing is that, with 15 players, Nneka was not all-conference all four years. And Brianna Gilbreath was.
On the media making Nneka co-defensive player of the year, I honestly think a lot of them don't distinguish very well between the Ogwumikes; even in the last game, the commentators were mistaken several times on which sister had made a play. I think they then default in their memories to Nneka rather than Chiney. This is not to say that Nneka's not a great defensive player, as she proved against Kal last weekend. But I think some of Chiney's contributions get mistakenly attributed to her sister.
Of course, she'll have all sorts of opportunity to educate them over the next couple of years.
