With high-major tournaments starting tomorrow, I bring you my All-Conference and All-American teams! Sorry for some sloppy writing. I really wanted to get this post done and published before the Power 6 tourneys tip off, so I didn't spend as much time on the writing portion as usual. Anyway, here are some disclaimers:
* I heavily factor in team success. I don't want to reward good stats on bad teams. * I believe defense matters more than offense for postseason success. Thus, since every team wants to win a championship, I try to recognize some of the defensive-minded guys that the big-name sports publications neglect. * this is a long post with a lot of names, so I just provided what I've dubbed "bullet-point analyses"; so just quick hitters with no GIFs.
