I thought it was great to see that we snagged 3 of the 5 positions on the all-defensive team, but am I the only one who thought Anna was more deserving as the defensive POY than Cam? A big part of being a shut-down defender of an opponent's top scorer is staying out of foul trouble so you can be on the court to do your thing defensively. For Cam, fouls continue to be a problem and for every time Anna got into foul trouble, Cam did so approximately ten times as often. Cam finished the season fouling twice as often on a per-minute basis as Anna and was. Largely as a result of foul trouble, Cam end up playing 17% fewer minutes than Cam, even though she started 9 more games than Anna.

You could also have given this award to Lexie based on her help defense and amazing double-teaming skills too.

A superb defensive team. To repeat as national champions, I think Cam will have to continue to elevate her defensive game against bigger and stronger players. Fingers crossed.
