I would have voted for Cameron. However, I can understand the counter argument. Brink is surrounded by many burgers. Don't know how many burgers are in Utah. That should mean that Stanford has many other players that can play at a high level while Utah doesn't have as many and teams can plan around stopping Pili, which they couldn't.

I'm just glad Rice didn't win FOY (yes, I'm bitter she went elsewhere). Rice and Jones will be a formidable duo for the following 3 years.

Actually I think Pili has a better supporting cast overall with 5 strong starters and good players off the bench. We underestimate how much Brink, Jones, and Jump do and carry the team. Also, our depth at post, particularly when Cam picks up fouls, means less time for her to have padded her stats. If brink played jones and Jump minutes, shw would have led in scoring. The comparison by OC is appropriate and shows Pili clearly an elite player but Brink still a head above. 

I think Pili got the votes because coaches thought her indispensable to Utah's success whereas Brink had another AA in Haley. But missing Pilli for significant minutes in our game didn't affect Utah much at all. Also, since coaches were giving Cam D POY, the vote for POY was a way of acknowledging Pili - splitting the baby. 

Frankly, other than Caitlin Clark, I don't think there is another player in the country with the ability to determine outcomes of games so much as Cam. Clark is better, Cam second with a whole bunch of players close to Cam.
