Eric a guard, had more rebounds than Cunningham, more points per game than Cunningham, was a better FT shooter than Cunningham, Eric had more steals than Cunningham, and the 8th best three point shooting average in the league.  The only thing Cunningham had over Eric  was a better overall FG%.  Eric should have been on one of those three teams.

The Dayton fans I was sitting next to were VERY impressed with EW's athleticism and would agree that he earned a mention.

Who votes for the All Conference Team & Individual Selections?
Coaches?  Writers?  ADs?

Given that VCU has the best D in the conference and maybe top 5 or 10 in the country, little bit surprised no players made the all D team.

TDM probably ran away with 6th man of the year. I think he was already a frontrunner and then his performance with Carry out catapulted him well ahead of any other serious contenders

Just a little comment. I kind of thought Mike Hughes would make all defensive with one of the hightest shot block percentages in the league

I'll admit that for the most part I only watched our games, but these selections really seem bizarre to me. I'd take the second team and maybe even the all-rookie team over the first team. Cunningham seems to have skated by on reputation, as I think he was much better last year. I'm sure EW's inconsistency is what hurt him, but putting up 40 against the defensive player of the year has to count for something. Carry deserved mention on one of the teams for sure, as I'd say he was the best point guard I saw in the league this year. It is weird not to see the guy who led the league in blocks for most of the year on the all-defensive team, but I think Hughes' performance against the other bigs that made it hurt him. I think it's more a result of playing out of position than anything else, but the perception may have been he put up big numbers against weak opposition and struggled against the best bigs in the league.

To answer your question, coaches vote for the all-conference teams.

EWs games where he didn't care hurt him.

Like I said he has all the potential in the world.

Agree 100% CLK. People have spoken about "body language," but I see consistent effort out of him. Even on long offensive sets where he doesn't get a touch, once the ball goes up he is looking at trajectory and defensive positioning, and then works his way to a spot that optimizes his chances for the rebound. Same thing on defense. His consistent reads, positioning, and hustle does not speak to a kid who "doesn't care." I see him as a wildly talented player who lost his touch for portions of the year, but responded by doubling down on rebounding and defense.

This is way off base.  I have watch EW play every game the entire season.  He has had some bad shooting nights along the way (so do all players), but I have never seen him play "where he didn't care".  He is perhaps the most passionate player we have, and gives it all every game. 
 

When I watch EWJr. play, I see a guy who plays the NBA style. In my mind, there's a reason he comes off differently than other college players. He's so smooth and glides so well that, at times, he doesn't appear to be hustling. But that kid can really play. He does so many intangible things well. He's on his way to becoming a pro. That's why, when he's struggling with his shot, he turns his full attention to something else that needs to be done. He's the best player on Duquesne's team, in my opinion. Look out for the next two years! This guy is going to be a real star.
 

I completely agree, he makes it look easy, sometimes people perceive this as not caring. But even on his off nights he is always flying in for every. single. rebound. I remember at the beginning of the season he gave an interview where he said that he views his primary role on the team as a 'rebounding' which, to me, speaks a lot about the determination you need to have if that is the stat you are judging yourself against. Also, I think he doesn't get foul calls the way some other players do, not sure why, maybe the refs get the same negative perception about him. I've been impressed that he doesn't lose his head and throw a fit when the calls don't go his way which seems strangely often. He's incredibly talented and he knows it and he has a fire for this team, (dunked at the end of a win, played D to prevent that SLU player from getting 40) some people get turned off by that swagger but I love it and think the Dukes need it

I was very surprised to see Williams completely miss out on all mention, but like Hughes I think it was a matter of head to head against the guys who made it over him. The 40 points against Bess and St. Louis was incredible, but other than that he was outplayed.

Williams vs. Grady, Stockard, Kier, Brown, and Bess: 92 points, 46 rebounds, 7 assists, 8 steals, 18 turnovers, 17 fouls
Grady, Stockard, Kier, Brown, and Bess vs. Williams: 121 points, 43 rebounds, 19 assists, 9 steals, 27 turnovers, 12 fouls

Like CLK and VBC said, hopefully he takes it personally and goes off in the tourney.
