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.

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.
